Admittedly, this is not going to win points in "interestingness." And, the composition isn't too original. But, as I waited outside the high school in which my son was taking his SATs, I noticed what appears to be a piece of a utility pole, suspended in a web of high-tension wires.
Not something I see every day!
It's spring here. That means not too many days for snapping, but some cool results when you can.

In 2014 Dreyfuss & Blackford Architects was selected to renovate the historic headquarters of the Sacramento Municipal Utility District that we originally designed. These construction photos were given to us from the extensive SMUD archive. The date each was taken is handwritten at bottom of the image.
In 2010 the SMUD Headquarters was inducted into the National Register of Historic Places.
Design began on the Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) Headquarters building in 1958, by 1961 construction was complete.
The client desired a dramatic, monumental building with careful attention to the environmental issues, including full sun control and an energy efficient air conditioning and heating system; with flexibility for expected immediate and long-term growth. One of the energy efficient features of the project is the use of solar shades on the exterior of the building which move with the sun. The building was designed for, and continues to house central administration and service facilities for SMUD.
The two wings of the 166,000 square foot building are linked by an elevator and service core. The south wing encloses three clear-spanned floors of flexible office space over a lobby, auditorium, and demonstration areas. The basement of the south wing was designed to comprise the building’s cafeteria, mailroom and general storage areas. The north wing includes two floors of flexible office space over three levels of garage parking provided for staff vehicles. Tree-shaded parking is available for visitors and employees. The 15-acre site is densely landscaped featuring granite boulders and a variety of trees. The building has matured successfully over the years and is still used as originally designed. No significant changes have taken place since the original construction. The exterior has been well-maintained, and the interior has had typical upgrades for a 50 year old building.
Water City Mural by Wayne Thiebaud
A major design feature, a glass mosaic by a young Wayne Thiebaud, encircles the first level of the building. He was virtually unknown at the time and this was his first glass mosaic, which is now considered irreplaceable and priceless.
Wayne Thiebaud was a relatively unknown artist teaching at Sacramento City College in 1958 when Dreyfuss & Blackford selected him to do a mosaic mural for the new building’s façade.
Along with SMUD, they decided something bright and beautiful was needed to increase interest in the building when viewed both at a distance, through the trees, and up close as people walked under the surrounding portico.
Thiebaud submitted two sketches to choose from, both of which were to be executed in glass mosaic tiles. One was bold, with large blocks of black, brown, orange and gray on a white background, a solid color abstract. Dreyfuss & Blackford chose instead a delicate design of a city reflected in water, and Thiebaud was then commissioned by the SMUD Board to make full drawings for four panels, each 15 feet high and over 200 feet long.
The artist worked in a large hall at the old State Fair to project each sketch in full size. Color areas were numbered by reference to 58 shades of sample tiles. Predominant colors are variations of orange, red, and blue.
A detailed study was made by Dreyfuss & Blackford to determine how and where such a mosaic could be manufactured. After much review and consideration, a muralist school in Florence, Italy was finally selected to prepare the mural. Theibaud’s drawings, on rolls of butcher paper, were rolled and sent to Italy where the mural was rendered in tessera glass tile, a process involving a great deal of handwork. The completed tiles were then shipped back to San Francisco, trucked to Sacramento, and mortared into place.
Here's the new utility room setup with the carport door to the right, and the old carport door installed on the back (replacing the existing door that is leaned up against the far wall). We did this because the carport door was just nicer/sturdier.
Guardian camera club utilities assignment.
I had some 4 core telephone cable in the flat from when I moved a socket, thought this would make a more intresting shot striped back to remove the casing. Also moved the light around to try to maximise shaddows and highlights. Later tried some mono shots and liked the results.
Enjoy and thanks for looking.

Brand new casting for 2024 and one which like its predecessor i'm positive will soon be available in scores of different Emergency themed liveries. Overall a good casting replicating the real updated Ford Police Interceptor Utility though its lack of any frontal tampo detailing has me reaching for my Molotow and Sharpie pens! ;-p
