Goodbye, "Floating Woman," Hello "Head Light."

I am accumulating a very long backlog of working drafts.

Instead of working on these posts that sorely need to be written, I created a new banner with a photo I took over the weekend. It is about time for a change, isn't it?

Goodbye:
Hello:

Nightshot: Melrose & Heliotrope

After spending a couple of hours working on my bicycle project over at Bicycle Kitchen, I walked over to the east-bound Metro 10 stop on Melrose and Heliotrope. While waiting, I spotted this:The street cleaners haven't gotten to it, and the curb painters just went over it--the palm tree that grew from concrete.

Nightshot: Commute

I've learned the hard way that Adams is not the best street to bike on during the day, but it's wonderful at night.



I drove to Lost Souls tonight because I was already in my car and I wanted to swing by before closing time. I drove home with the windows down, but it was not at all the same as feeling the cold air whip at my face and creep beneath the layers of my clothes as when I bike. Conclusion: driving makes the journey home much less satisfying.

Nightshot at Hope & 9th

I love the sepia glow that those old street-lamps give the city.

Nightshot at St. Vincent's Court

Something feels sad and wrong about this:


Lovely lights, tiled sidewalk, and Big Lots. Sigh.

And a few yards away:
