Pedestrian

061915

I thought the pedestrian ruined the shot when she walked into it, so I made another one after she’d gone. Turns out, she made the shot.

Alive

I am lucky: my job involves travel.

I like to travel. (You knew that already, didn’t you?)

Just the other day, I was in Portland, where I spotted this mural and the pair of parking meters. Both made me happy.

The shortest distance

060915

“The shortest distance between two points is a straight line.” Remember that from geometry?

So, it turns out that works in Euclidean geometry, and the actual, universal truth about the shortest distance between two points is “relative to the situation.”

Therefore, I believe this wall is non-Euclidean: look at that vent pipe snaking its way up the wall.

Lining Up

I just don’t have the slightest idea what that skinny PVC pipe is doing, poking out of the building like that, other than lining up nicely with the skinny cloud. Do you suppose the pipe disappeared when the cloud did?
