Infrastructure 😉 at Ponce City Market….
Glass incorporated into the paving material in Old Fourth Ward Park near the kids playground.
The two cents? I found two cents last week, and also this. Are the Fates indicating something? Not sure….

Beltline art. Lots of metal pieces this time. Does that mean more funding for materials? Sorry, didn’t get artist’s name or the title of the piece.
Nature’s art (kinda). The new streetlights make more distinct shadows that I found eye-catching when I was out taking a lap after dusk. Probably helps that most of the leaves are down….

I thought moon gates were for luck, but I understand it’s not really that at all. Circle of life, completeness of family (and returning home)…. Both good.
I pondered what the multi-cultural, complex symbolism would be if there was mistletoe hanging in the moon gate….

Someone put three of these atop posts like angular finials in a garden redesign on a floodplain along the street. The house is set far back, across the creek, accessed via a bridge. The creek is very dissected (in a deep-cut channel); it’s my understanding that this happened in within the last two centuries.

I’ve been looking at this mural on the side wall of Moe’s and Joe’s for several weeks, and wondering about this fellow…since we’re not M&J denizens, he was a mystery to me, smiling down…until G__gle revealed this.
Horace McKennie was the tavern’s venerable bartender and waitron for over five decades. He started within two years after the place opened in 1947. Moe and Joe were brothers, surname Krinsky. (Bar history here.)
The place in 1949…about the time Horace started working at the bar/tavern.
Wish that kosher gro was still there….

I wasn’t trying to find another firehose (following yesterday’s), but I came across this one, in a circular storage bracket. Love the skinny stairs, too.

Looks to me like these are poised to host weekend fun.
I love the single loop of firehose that looks like it’s trying to escape.

I liked the pumpkin, signaling this week’s upcoming holiday…and I liked the railing-shadows.
Nut milk bag? Those words didn’t strike me as fitting together. The fine print brings it into focus, however.

The recent bombings/terrorism in Paris and elsewhere has weighed on me today, not in the front of my mind, but subtly, clouding my outlook.
So, I present happy images, promotion of a comedy night and a classic, a flower, this one with a ladybug attendant.

Sometimes I walk along a street and in front of a building, and other than a few leaves, it looks as it has for the last month and year. Then, there’s a day and place like this, where the driveway has been chunked, with the concrete no doubt to be removed on the morrow. I don’t think that the driveway was in bad shape…although it is now.
Elsewhere, this white picket fence is holding its own…loving the light and shadow.
