Always intrigued by the “rocks” arrayed in this park in NE Portland, I finally gave in and parked the car on Stanton between Vancouver and Williams (in case you want to check it out yourself).
Each monolith bears a memory relating to the neighborhood.
The words are arranged differently on each one.
They are clustered near the Vancouver entrance to the park. Here you can see the domed pavilion in the distance. On this sunny day, many people were brown bagging it or just soaking up some rays. Anna (Flutter and Hum) hosts the weekly Wednesday Vignette: always visually striking and often (this week, for sure) including some thought-provoking commentary.
Your curiosity led to an interesting discovery. I need to go check it out.
Yes, you do. Your camera skills could do it justice.
Interesting installation. Glad you checked it out.
A sunny day brings out the explorer in all of us, don’t you think?
The engraved stones are way cool but that domed entrance structure is faboo and needs to live in my garden!
Some desires are worth repetition.

A dome like that would suit your style perfectly…now all you need are some workmen from (Kiev?).
I drive by that park all the time – until now I didn’t know it’s name and I’d never seen the rocks! (the domed pavilion is my landmark)
You must be going by on Williams. If you’re on Vancouver going south it’s hard to miss.
Maybe we should explore together one of these days…meet up at Ristretto on Williams?
Next time, I’ll plan ahead for a linger.
What a great way to display the history of the park and community. After reading one inscription, I would have to read all the others.
I was on my way somewhere, but I will definitely go back and read them all.
