Photographs
It's been a while since I last did a photo post. Let's see what I've accumulated,
Here's an interesting new building gate I photographed just today (why this occurred to me).
Here's a building in my neighborhood that has long had a problem with people camping on their front "stoop." I noticed they had taken care of this by storing a bunch of stools out there, but it was only last week that I finally noticed that the stools are bolted to the paving.
It does work.
This next may be hard to explain.
They are currently in the process of upgrading Camino del Mar in Lincoln Park. In particular, they are reducing the storm runoff into our sewer system. There are several of these structures that are designed to capture water from the street, let the water flow from one deep basin to the next (Note the the little gates at the low point in the little walls) giving the water time to be absorbed into the ground. Eventually, if necessary, any water beyond what the system can absorb will flow out the opening at the end and go to either the next structure or to the storm sewer.
This is my favorite Wee Free library, also near Lincoln Park.
Okay. I know this is strange, but I have always had a thing for outdoor lighting -- street, parking lots, even the side of buildings. This is a classic 1960s street light fixture but the only time I've ever seen it with four lights. Someone when BART's MacArthur Station was being planned noticed this rarely (if ever) used option in some catalog. It's only a matter of time before it gets replaced by an LED fixture, so I wanted to capture it.
Architects are having more fun with parking structures these days. This one is in downtown Berkeley.
