HFF! Taken on the Nine Creeks Trail on my walk today. Best seen large by clicking on the photo

This guy was working hard to make a hole in the concrete with his hammer. He then looked up and saw some weird foreigner with a big camera pointed at him. He quickly went back to work.

walking around Austin, TX.

 

The only people left on 6th street are the homeless and construction workers. The construction workers do not seem to be doing any physical distancing.

Embassy Gardens, Nine Elms

We were passing this group of tired looking construction workers silently waiting for their ride home. They were pulling out their phones and looked stoic as they entered that 5 O' Clock World. I got the attention of one and I said in Spanish, "No faces. Only the feet." The tired faces looked up as I knelt down to frame this scene. They went back to the world away from work. I quickly caught up to my wife and we kept walking. First thing I said to her was, "I saw that shot and almost let it go. Glad I didn't." Washington, D.C. 09/06/2023.

I made this portrait of a construction worker near Lagos, because I thought he looked like Samuel Jackson

Part of three photos showing some of the construction of a medical office building for most of the block bounded by Polk Street and Van Ness Avenue on the east and west and Cedar and Geary Streets on the north and south. This building (now completed) created medical offices supporting the a new Hospital (also, now completed) across Van Ness Avenue (the building under construction in the background).

 

With construction in this area going apeshit, the disruption/change to this neighborhood has, so far, been enormous and neither the hospital nor this office building were even completed. The homeless in the neighborhood are visibly, being driven into the streets and you see many of them wandering about aimlessly. On a personal level my ophthalmologist moved to a nearby, cement, office building. Built in the 80s, it is as characterless as it is nondescript.

 

Finally, the geotagged map says this neighborhood is "Lower Nob Hill." Lower Nob Hill is a recent, bullshit appellation created by pimping real estate personnel to try and give cachet to this traditionally, down and out neighborhood. In reality, this area is part of Polk Gulch, a subset of the Tenderloin and closer to Russian Hill and Pacific Heights, both of which are easily as wealthy as Nob Hill.

I have great empathy for people who work outside in the weather, especially when it is extremely hot or cold. This image was taken during our long run of triple digit temperatures. Murray, Utah.

A crane along with a highrise structure under construction reflect on windows in another building across the street where four construction workers are working.

-Added to the Cream of the Crop pool as most interesting. It's now my 2nd most interesting, as Dots has now overtaken it.

 

I've been watching this renovation of plazas in Evanston all year--a fountain was removed--and this sign is fairly new. I like I got the worker in the photo too...

I feel sure there are lots of captions for this picture. Have some fun and add yours to the comment box.
