Cyclops
I was in Seattle last month for the American Planning Association’s national conference, which is pretty much as exciting as it sounds.
On a urban-planning themed city tour, I got to see the Gas Works Park, which is on the location of a former (pay close attention here, because it starts to get complicated) gas works. It’s been a park since the mid-1970s, and is sort of famous for having kept part of the gas works structures in place.
Which I suppose means that the cyclops was somehow part of gas production.

The daunting task
I don’t know how much of the wall that worker was painting with a roller, but if it was the entire thing, it he/she probably didn’t finish in one day.

“There must be some kind of way out of here.”
I’ve mentioned this before – how sometimes a particular scene will make a song show up in my mind.
You can probably figure out which one it was this time, from the caption. But which version? My mind didn’t care if it was Bob Dylan or Jimi Hendrix or U2 or Eddie Vedder. But it drew the line at John Mayer.

Escalator to nowhere
After I made this image, a security guard quizzed me about why, exactly, I was taking pictures of an empty exhibit hall.
“Check out those two red circles and how they balance that red cart!”
“It’s so far down!”
“Oooh – the floor is so shiny!”
“That yellow wall is such a nice contrast to the grey floor.”
But I settled for, “I like how it looks.” She was completely confused and I didn’t stick around.

Children Playing
Well, this just has it all. A street. A street-based basketball goal. A “children playing” sign. A restaurant. A saloon.
