The rusty lightpole seems a lot older than everything else here.

This place is deep in the heart of Michele Bachmann country so I was surprised to see that aerial survey marker on the path. John Birchers sometimes like to flip out about that kind of thing.

Might need those lights yet! We went to see my son play baseball at one of the Denver H.S. ballfields today; clouds moved in pretty quickly but it only sprinkled on us for a short time.

Very lush weedgarden.

Sitting in my bedroom watching the first white-stuff of the year fall, I decided to trudge out into the cold and get my nightly lamp picture. I'm quite satisfied with the results, I must say.

പാതിരാവില്‍ ഉറക്കം വിട്ടപ്പോളാണ്‌

ഞാന്‍ വെളിച്ചത്തിണ്റ്റെ വിലയറിഞ്ഞത്‌

വെളിച്ചം ദു:ഖമാണുണ്ണീ

എന്നു പറഞ്ഞവനെ ഞാന്‍ പ്രാകി

കടുംകറുപ്പിലൂളിയിട്ട്‌

ഉന്‍മാദിയാമിരുട്ടിണ്റ്റെ

കരിങ്കമ്പിളി ചൂടി

ഉറങ്ങാതെ ഉണരവേ

വെളിച്ചം...

ദര്‍ശനം തന്നത്‌

കടലോളമെന്നില്‍

The goal of the shoe throwing is to try to hit the top rung of this lightpole. All the misfires apparently land in the tree(s) behind it.

In downtown Zanesville, Ohio, on November 28th, 2020, on the north side of Market Street, east of North 6th Street.

The Muskingum County auditor asserts that the building is from 1900. I find this suspect, a too-conveniently round number. But the building does not appear on the 1895 Sanborn fire insurance map of Zanesville, so I guess I am willing to accept that it was built circa 1900?

An early morning in the French Quarter before the crowds arrived.

.....

In light of the 10 year anniversary of Katrina's destruction of the Gulf coast, I thought I would re-post some pictures I took when I went to New Orleans in 2006, about 4 or 5 months after the storm. We were filming a series of television PSAs for the NCAA. They went in some of the devastated communities and rebuilt athletic fields so that students could get back to some normalcy.

They were just limping back when we got there. Down in the lower 9th ward and surrounding neighborhoods, people were starting to build their houses back. Many didn't have flood insurance, so they had to foot the bill. You could hear power saws and hammers all day long. On about every block, there would be one house with a perfectly manicured lawn and beautifully restored home - they had flood insurance. The rest of the houses were gutted of the moldy drywall. You could see the water line on the outside of the house. Some homes had FEMA trailers parked out front.

I had never been to New Orleans before. The hospitality we received and vibrance of the people was amazing. I can't wait to get back there.

Trip to Glasgow. I was on my way to the transport museum and saw this old man walking along and HAD to take a photo. I did the whole "Pretend to take a tourist shot"

Queen Creek, Arizona USA

Captured this image after stopping along Howard Street in the SOMA district (South of Market street) in San Francisco after I had dropped my Melody at her work place one Saturday morning. This is the only day of the week I take my bride to her work location in the Union Square since there is no commute traffic and public transportation is on weekend schedules. This is the second of two street light poles I photographed before 10 AM on my way shopping or home. One is able to appreciate the ornate design of these light poles when they are colorfully painted as this one is. Doubt if any of the new poles nowadays are this ornate, unless a special project. Happy colors.
