The designer of the coat of arms was clearly not a world class artist.

Wow ~~ I haven't looked in here in a while. Love Casimira's mighty Mississippi captioned with "water" and Kerouac's dreamy shot.

Thanks, Casimira. That's in Las Vegas. Kinda disappointing, with no bright lights on it.

rust!
bixa's 138 almost breaks my heart with that poor little seedling trying to grow in the empty tree hole and sharing space with all those scraps of litter under the grate...

I was wondering about fire hydrants in various countries. I think that just about everybody knows that fire hydrants in the United States stick out of the ground. Not so in France, where they are nearly always set into the pavement.

My first (and maybe only) manhole cover. My (phone) camera, Casimira's eyes.

I shot two other covers, but this one was my favorite.

A very fitting piece of memorobilia of a very lovely evening, albeit, not long enough to my liking, spent with you Cristina. Thanks!
