Green Wall

   
I just like this green wall. It makes me think of candy like Skittles and gummy bears.

nothing like ribs from a converted school bus… May 11th, 2008

MR. P’S RIBS

This morning I fought off my hangover with an hour and a half photo walk-about in NoMA.  This developing neighborhood gave me plenty of “urban decay” fodder.  The favorite thing that I came across this morning was this converted school bus that now serves as a mobile ribs stand.  This was parked in a liquor store (which also has a very funny sign) parking lot right next to the Metro/AMTRAK tracks and I have a feeling that this must be delicious.  The bottom right corner of the sign says “I’m as good as the best and better than the rest”.  It is on the sign so it must be true.  My job site is just on the other side of these tracks so once I get the courage up I’m going to give it a shot.  I’ll be sure to report back, this might just be the next big thing in…ummm…food that is served in a ghetto rigged yellow school bus…or something.

Here are the rest of my shots from the stroll.

the eagles on the Taft Bridge are mysterious May 10th, 2008

Taft Lightpole

   
Above is a photo of one of the light poles on the Taft Bridge on Connecticut Avenue. And here’s our theory about these eagle sculptures on top of the lamps… There are probably, say, 20 birds in total, one on each pole as they march along the side of the bridge, and all of them face inward towards the pedestrians, or the cars if you are driving. Except for one. Ah ha! On the west side of the bridge, closer to the Dupont Circle side, one of the eagles faces off toward the National Cathedral. Why is it turned? This is where the Illuminati landmarks come into the theory. I think they left a major component out of National Treasure: Book of Secrets. Actually, I never saw that movie because I already sawNational Treasure. But whatever Nicholas Cage was doing in DC in that movie he was probably doing it totally wrong. He should have been tracing a line between that misaligned eagle and the National Cathedral because who knows what is hidden in that line. It pretty much has to be part of the compass. If you know anything about the Freemasons then I’m sure you are following me here.
   
Anyway, if you are Dan Brown and you are reading this and you still don’t have the ending written for The Solomon Key you can feel free to use this material.

Dupont Circle Fountain @ night May 8th, 2008

Dupont Circle Fountain @ night

   
I think this photo is just beautiful. And mysterious. What is crazy-hands on the left motioning about? Why is the guy on the right smiling? We will never know.
