July 2012 Fountains of Portland

 Ira Keller Fountain is filled with people on any warm day in Portland.
 Ira Keller Fountain and more people.
 Lovejoy Fountain is hidden behind Harrison Towers. I call this Portland's stealth fountain.
 Salmon Street Springs Fountain is the most popular and most visible of Portland's fountains. Located at Salmon St. at the Willamette River it is full of kids on any warm day.
Abe Lincoln is hiding in South Park Blocks, SW Park at SW Main. He is not a fountain, but maybe he should be. He would certainly attract more attention if there was water flowing around him.
