Your Sunday Boring Postcard from Michael5000


WORLD FORESTRY CENTER, PORTLAND, OREGON

The World Forestry Center is a magnificently constructed monument to wood where people can learn about forests and man's use of the forest through fascinating animated exhibits. The host of the Center is a spectacular 70-foot Talking Tree (left photo) which explains how a tree grows, using the latest techniques of exhibitry.

Provenance: Gift of the Morgan F. Shirley Collection, 2010.

Ooops, sorry, didn't mean to be anonymous--that was me griping about the non-nonsexist language-

Sorry, M5000. Too lovely to qualify in this category! Well, the expanse of roof is pretty lame, but the card is redeemed by the left side, you know.
