Salem OR downtown urban hike 6 Feb 2015

Rainy rainy weekend - everywhere within a 3 hr drive!  The skies cleared at 1:45p on Friday and it looked like it would hold for a few hours so I headed downtown with my camera for an urban hike around the Capitol.  Found lots of little alleys, curious art work, and austere buildings with beautiful billowy clouded skies as the backdrop.  Fun!  Walked about 4 miles.
