Giddyup, Go, Horsie!


Our fair city's iconic seahorse.
This fellow stands (?) sentinel
at the invisible boundary between
Monterey and Seaside.

Not a particularly fabulous photo,
but when risking
equipment loss
and
traffic citation
by holding your
camera out the window
with your left hand
while driving...

...oh, wait.
Should I have just confessed that
in a persistent record
on a globally accessible
website?

Ahem.
Photo of unknown origin.

Wood Eyes


OK.

Technically
the eyes are
nails
driven INTO
wood.

Nevertheless,
there is a face here.
Do you see it?

Springs Edifice


Clear summer day
in Colorado Springs.
The architectural detail,
the colors,
the contrast with newer buildings,
the flag on the roof,
the stunning blue sky,
and the size comparison
between the "Hibbard & Co." building
and the two smaller
two-story buildings next door.

Taken on 18 July 2010.

Fab Facade


Building in downtown Monterey.
It is called simply

Here's another view
of more of the building
set against a clear blue sky
with Old Glory
waving in the ocean-scented breeze.

Random Tardis


I'm sure to the owners
this is not a Random Tardis at all,
but I did not have the gumption
to go knock on their door and ask
for the story.

But I can imagine
all kinds of
exciting tales,
can't you?

Seaside Sunset


Deceptive title.
"Seaside" - the town of that name,
not "seaside" as in "at the beach."

This may not be
the most amazing sunset
photo ever taken,
but the colors, patterns,
and silhouettes
are intriguing.

Taken 1 October 2010.
