Lion Statue detail in front of Buddhist Temple in S.E. Portland. I went for a walk on Sunday to use up some of the last few frames on a roll of 35mm color film I had started last Autumn. I'd been seeing this temple from the Hawthorne Bus and decided to check it out up close. I once lived near here and back then the building was a Christian Science church. The building was designed by a well known architect and is mentioned in the book Frozen Music by Gideon Bosker a very interesting book on Portland Architecture.
