Ginkgo glow

Gingko or ginkgo?

Fallen onto the sidewalk of the street beneath our feet, this ginkgo biloba leaf glows neon green.

Shiny bright

A freshly paved street does not warrant a brand new manhole cover.  

Buffed bright

This cover has served faithfully for so many years that the raised surface has been buffed to a gleam.  Sunlight reflecting off the cover makes it stand out against the freshly laid asphalt.

Gleamy rail

Hand rail

The part of the handrail that is not in the shade gleams in the sunlight.
