You know, there's a sci-fi novel called Before the Cradle Falls, about time travel. It's set in Portland and the story is interspersed with news articles from the future about how a serial killer who targets children struck repeatedly in Portland and ended up more or less destroying the city's soul. Those articles report a future of distrust, civic unrest, and urban decay in a city previously known for good urban living, exemplary urban design, and civic engagement. Meanwhile, in the present, the characters are all dealing with bizarre weather and reports of a strange vigilante harassing children and their families, telling them they're in danger.
Your photos look like they should be accompanying those articles from the future.
