Gorge camping

Oaks Pioneer Church was built in 1851. In 1960 the old church had fallen into disuse and was scheduled for demolition. Funds were raised to keep the church from destruction, and in 1961 the church was shipped to its current location at the edge of Sellwood Park next to the Willamette River. Oaks Pioneer Church is now listed as a Portland Historical Landmark and is included on the National Register of Historic Places. Weddings are performed here.
I stumbled upon this place on my way to the Gorge for the Dave Matthews Band Labor Day Weekend festivities. I had never been to Sellwood before, even though I’ve been to Portland many times. Great neighborhood.
Today’s photo is a reverse angle (taken a bit earlier in the evening) from the same location I took this prior picture. A walk down the street ahead (slightly to the right of center in this image) will take you to Old Town Square, perhaps the most picturesque square in the world.
I spent this past weekend at the annual DMB Gorge shows. This was my first time seeing Dave since the 1997 Bridge School Benefit with Neil Young. I guess I made up for those missing 20 years by seeing him three nights in a row. This was my first time at the Gorge Amphitheatre. What an amazing place!
Anyway, more photos to come here.
Visiting this place was not on our agenda. However, when we passed St Pancras on our way to the British Library it looked so incredible that we took a look inside. Wow!
Something seemed familiar about St Pancras so I Googled “st pancras harry potter” just now and sure enough, I found out this wasn’t the first time I had seen this hotel before:
