Things I saw today.

While out walking today, I spotted a path running off from the street into the shrubbery between houses and Sunny Acres Park, so I walked up the path.

After following the path for about 20 ft. (about 6 meters), I came stumbled into a little clearing in the shrubbery. This is the view looking north.


Looking east.


Looking west.


And finally, I saw one big POTHOLE.

Hey, a second post in one day!

This is a picture of one old the old local State Hospital buildings, taken from the back side of the building. It was used for many years to treat those who had various problems with rational thought processes (see how PC I can be). Today it is used to threat those who like to abuse substances. I believe these buildings were built around 1935, and they are really quite eye catching as a group. A new State Hospital has been built on an adjoining plot of real-estate.


This is a picture of the south side of the new Hospital. Somehow, it just seems a cold and stark place.


This is the east side of the new Hospital. The main entrance is on the left. It kinda looks boxish and straight, doesn't it?

Stuff I Saw on Friday.

My little pocket- shooter Doesn't have the ability to capture the beauty of this flag. I took the shot from probably 600-700 yards, across the Rum River. But if you click it to full size, it does look pretty good.

I again tried taking pictures of flowers. This is a wildflower I caught blossoming in my shadow.The next 2 photos were taken of planters on Main Street.
Trying to take closeups of flowers on a windy day can be tricky. and sometimes the color just doesn't jump enough.

I didn't take into account the reflections in the window for this shot.


It looks as if somebody is planning to build a fire some time in the future, down by the Rum River
And that is what I saw on Friday.

More pics

First up, a decorated lampost on Main Street.


I snapped this photo on Main Street near St. Stephen's.

I'm not sure why these pieces of lumber are nailed to the retaining wall under US 10, but I'm sure whoever nailed them there had a reason.


Looking east from where 6th Avenue would cross the tracks, if 6th Avenue crossed the tracks.


Looking west on the tracks from the imaginary 6th Avenue crossing..
