Drainage System
I guess most people would visit the River Walk and make photos of maybe the river. And the walk.
Which is exactly why I preferred to look at this storm-water culvert under a bridge.

Awesome! Things seldom seen and/or ignored by many.

My brother-in-law, to me, as I was making this shot: What do you SEE?
It wasn’t the only time that day that he asked.

You have a bad case of stormdrainitis. I’m not sure there is a cure, but I sure hope so.

Evidence suggests that not only is stormdrainits incurable, it’s also progressive.
But your storm drain’s a lot prettier than mine is.

Prettier maybe, but a lot less interesting.

I have to disagree – your storm drain changes minute to minute, and this one will always look like this. (Except I guess that cup will eventually wash away.)

But all those pipes and things are so cool. And the cup.

Maybe you need to come to Texas – take a break from your storm drain. You’ll appreciate it more when you get back.

Sounds like a good idea. I’ll be in Oregon next week. Is that close?

Well, it’s close-ish.

They probably have storm drains…

They DO have storms, so it stands to reason that they’d have storm drains. Is this when you’re going to Portland?

During storm season? It is about time for the first of the fall storms to blow through. I just hope it’s not while I am on the ferry crossing the Strait of Juan de Fuca, which can get a bit gnarly in bad weather.

I believe that “gnarly” is a nautical term that means “vomity” but I’m from a non-nautical place, so there’s a slight chance I’m mistaken.

The way I have heard gnarly used, and it was used a lot on my most recent field trip, is to indicate difficult going, such as in very rough terrain with dense underbrush, or vertical waves around a rocky headland. I think vomity could come into it, perhaps quite often! Its a useful word, especially in the kinds of places I have been working.
