Monster Rises From Fountain

I enjoy watching for unusual events in the news.

Disregard the tourist content on this page and look instead upon rare photos of the water fountain monster. The bottom three of the four pictures stand out with paranoiac qualities. They are a writhing mass of clouds from which Terminators may emerge, a duck's head nearly hidden in a frilly hat, and a soapy beast releasing a bubble towards the clouds above.

(As an aside, the slogan 'Keep Portland Weird' is not one I use. Keep Portland More Than Weird, I say.)
