I am planning to get a full length one and paint it yellow. Next, I'll try to get a pedestal 'topper' if I can and also paint it yellow, along with the bracketry.
I hope PVC can take the weight of my Eagle pedestrian signal!
After the collapse of the worldwide economy, thousands of civil wars sparked across the planet. With almost the entire planet involved, the world was left in pieces, with entire city being nearly destroyed. Governments did they best they could to control the violence, but there was no end.
One of the few Governments who were able to survive through the harsh times was the Canadian Government, thanks to the help of the RCALF. The RCALF maintained relatively good control of the people during the mass civil wars.
But, during the horrible times, a group of people gained power, becoming very strong in numbers. The Hobos gained total control of the black markets, controlling the city streets with the selling of weapons.
The RCALF have closed in on the location of the Hobos leader and are moving in to take him out, and to once again try to bring peace to their nation.

This young Fish Crow watched me take pictures from the top of a Scrub Oak tree for about 10 minutes before it flew to the light post next to me to get a better view of what I was doing. It stayed there for nearly 15 minutes looking directly at me before finally flying away.
It showed absolutely no fear of me or my camera as I repeatedly photographed it. Before it flew off it came in as close to me as it could and hovered over my shoulder as I took pictures of the foraging Little Blue Herons.
A very neat experience.

2nd time in 2 years that somebody drove their car through the neighbor's fence. They took out the light post this time.
Broadway: 1000 Steps in and around Montefiore Park is a project based on the City as Living Laboratory: Sustainability Made Tangible Through the Arts Framework, which broadly aims to build upon the City’s initiative to establish Broadway as the preeminent “green corridor” in New York City.
As pedestrians approach Montefiore Park, a field of green vertical structures defined the area. Visitors encountered convex mirrors installed at various heights reflecting their own image as well as fragments of the city. Color-coded markings around manhole covers, storm-water inlets, and light posts help decode the site’s existing infrastructure. The specific topic addressed at this site was food as related to health.

Two benches, two trees and a light post in a curious symmetric position in Flushing Meadows Park, New York City.
Taken at about 4.30 pm in deep twilight, no tripod and 2 hollering and horn beeping littluns in the car behind me so excuses for the crap light :-)
Post the torrential rain in Cork all day thusday 30th Nov 06 and then a huge storm on saturday 2nd Dec 06 - we must have had 5 inches at least over the 2 storms (and there's more to come) and maybe much more.
There has been lots of flooding and the River Lee has come over its banks along the whole length of the long Lee Road. Also the river bride has burst its banks near where we live out past Ballincollig.

From open top tourist bus, SanFransisco. This picture was taken the day before Robin Williams died, and we had just passed near his neighborhood, pointed out by the tour bus operator. Next day on the same tour operator informed us of his death. Sad.
The Colorado Street Bridge was designed and built in 1913 by the firm of J.A.L. Waddell, based in Kansas City, Missouri. The structure carries Colorado Boulevard (then called "Colorado Street"), the major east-west thoroughfare connecting Pasadena with Eagle Rock and Glendale to the west, and in Monrovia to the East. It spans 1,486 feet (453 m) and is notable for its distinctive Beaux Arts arches, light standards, and railings. The bridge is on the National Register of Historic Places and has been designated a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark by the American Society of Civil Engineers.
During the early years of the twentieth century, the Colorado Street Bridge was known locally as "Suicide Bridge" after dozens of suicides. A suicide barrier was added which reduced the number of suicides, but the bridge retained its nickname. [There are also claims that the bridge is haunted and there are people who claim to have seen ghosts walking on the bridge] In 1989, after the Loma Prieta earthquake in Northern California, the bridge was declared a seismic hazard and closed to traffic. It was reopened in 1993 after a substantial retrofit. The bridge is closed each summer for a festival, "A Celebration on the Colorado Street Bridge", hosted by historic preservation group Pasadena Heritage.[2]

El puente de la calle Colorado fue diseñado y construido en 1913 por la firma de J.A.L. Waddell, basado en Kansas City, Missouri. La estructura lleva al boulevard Colorado (entonces llamado 'Calle de Colorado'), la importante arteria este-oeste conectando Pasadena con Eagle Rock y Glendale, al oeste y en Monrovia al este. Abarca 1.486 (453 pies) y es notable por su distintivos de Bellas Artes de arcos, lamparas de luces y barandillas. El puente se encuentra en el registro nacional de lugares históricos y ha sido designado un lugar histórico nacional de Ingeniería Civil por la sociedad americana de ingenieros civiles.
Durante los primeros años del siglo XX, el puente de la calle de Colorado fue conocido localmente como "Puente suicida" tras decenas de suicidios. Barandillas altas que fueron añadidas redujo el número de suicidios, pero el puente conservó su apodo. [y tambien se supone que es un lugar donde frequentemente gente dicen haber visto fantasma paseando por el puente] En 1989, tras el terremoto de Loma Prieta en California del Norte, el puente fue declarado una amenaza sísmica y cerrado al tráfico. Se reabrió en 1993 después de un retrofit sustancial. El puente está cerrado cada verano para un festival, “Una Celebracion en el puente de la calle Colorado', organizado por grupo de preservación histórica patrimonio de Pasadena.[2]
