Antisolar rays



Anticrepuscular rays
Rays in the eastern sky


It took a triple take to be sure that these rays really were there in the eastern sky just after sunset.   They are called "anticrepuscular rays" and seem to come from the antisolar point.

Sunny and bright



sunflower from bird seed
Small sunflower

This small sunflower with lemon yellow petals was grown from the sunflower seeds that are in bird seed.  It is much smaller than was expected!

Some of the other seeds that are in bird seed were also planted.  They came up as well.  Being grasses, they were not as interesting as the sunflowers.

Trusses and turnbuckles



The exterior of this store was previously seen here.  With that left window now uncovered, one can peer inside as the store is being renovated.

Trusses under the beam



What is interesting about this store interior is not that it is a work in progress, nor all the doors and stairways at the back, but the rod trusses and turnbuckles below the beam that are holding the building together.

Brick and faucet

Patina faucet and red brick wall


This outdoor water faucet is on the side of an electrical substation building.  Although neither is actively used, this faucet would  have provided a connection for a hose that could be used to wash down the sidewalk.
