Last warm night of the year in the city

It was November first but it felt like summer, probably for the last time until next spring. It was also the First Friday Art Walk. I knew people would be out on the street for both reasons, so I headed to downtown Portland with my camera to look at art — human art, that is, my favorite kind.
