Detail is dialed down to the most simple possible. Three complications: activity rings in the upper left corner (they're greyed out b/c the face is locked right now), current temperature in the upper right corner, and day + date on the face.
Each morning I change the accent color, usually to match my shirt, because why not?
In 1979, utility workers accidentally cut into a petroleum line in Culver City, California, creating an explosion that leveled half a city block. Since that time, utility workers have developed a code engineers or construction foremen spray paint on the street to denote unseen hazards beneath the surface to help workers avoid accidents during construction projects. They use both colors and shapes to create their nomenclature, which, to a an ordinary pedestrian, can seem like a mad graffiti artist's chaotic manifesto, a work of art inspired by Cy Twombly, or something reminiscent of the paintings found on the walls of caves. In any case, this is how one might decipher the code: red = electric power lines, cables, conduit and lighting cables; orange = telecommunication, alarm or signal lines, cables or conduit; yellow = natural gas, oil, steam, petroleum or other flammables; green = sewers and drain lines; blue = drinking water; purple = reclaimed water, irrigation and slurry lines; pink = temporary survey markings, unknown/unidentified facilities; white = proposed excavation limits or routes.

A small spaceship I imagine being some sort of exploratory vehicle operating out of a larger space station. The build was a fun vessel for messing with angles possible using cheese slopes,
19th century home life was pretty much all manual labor. There was no electricity for any of the appliances.
Comments and constructive criticisms are always welcome, and thanks for visiting.

I was walking down the street and happened to glance down the alley. I saw something that looked like a couch, but wasn't sure. So the intrepid photographer in me took a detour and headed to investigate. Sure enough, there was this couch, perfectly placed beneath the pipes and flanking that utility pole. As I was walking around with just one lens, I had to back up all the way against the opposite alley wall to get the framing I wanted. Ah, just one of the fun challenges of going out with only one prime! I LOVE doing that!

The map is wrong, this is not in Bexley, but in Palmers Road, New Brighton. Bexley is the other side of the Avon River.
Thank you for taking the time to view my photo, and for the faves and comments you make.

One of the shots I took, and prepped as a candidate for my new entry to LEGO Ideas. Please support here: ideas.lego.com/projects/2384769b-f69c-401e-a7a3-840e96ab7156

These Utility boxes are on a lot of the corners in Ithaca, NY and are painted by local artists.
I wasn't sure about these. Lawn tractors, really? At this show there were a whole section of them on display. But I guess they have lawn tractor pulls and they are smaller siblings of the regular tractors, so here they are!

A local power utility station in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. I like the way a long lens can flatten a scene and create a sense of chaos in an image. Here, the out of focus posts are fairly close to the camera, whereas the utility station is quite far away.
One day in June, I decided to load up a couple of old cameras with some 135 format, black and white, film. One was a Nikon FTn with a 35 mm lens that I gave to me daughters. They are seven and nine years old, and were interested in learning some photography. I loaded a Spotmatic 1 for myself. I planned to shoot the whole roll with a 300 mm lens, but some of the shots were taken with other lenses.
Check out an album containing more of my photos shot in 2018.

Mid day shot or a brightly painted utility box on Wilshire Blvd. directly across from the L.A. County Museum of Art! Art of Serlin!
Really old build, like from almost three years ago. I was really happy with it when I built it, just never came up with a name I liked until I tried some more today. Happy to finally post it now though!! Expect a scene soon too, I've been working on one and I'm really liking how it's turning out. Check out my instagram (@legomania211) for updates on that and any other LEGO stuff.
Utility room African style with a wood-fired boiler in the corner, called "donkey," and the job instructions for the farm workers on the wall.
The photo was taken on Farm Rietfontein, Dordabis, and uploaded for Monochrome Monday....and Wall Wednesday.
