I thought my gallery needed a little yellow on this cool and dreary day, so a fire hydrant it is. What is is that is so charming about these yellow hydrants? I think it's because they look like little workers in hats. It's funny how we so often anthropomorphize things.

I realize I should have gotten the front bolt a little more in focus, but I really wanted to blur out the messy background so I was working at f1.4, and since it was a busy street, I was working fast and trying not to get hit by a car!

Day 33 of 365
11th and Carlton

In an earlier picture (the one with the hail) you can see the top of the old and abandoned Reading Viaduct, this photo was taken in one of the tunnels that runs beneath the viaduct. These lights are brand new and they are actually tiny paper lanterns. There were discussions of turning this viaduct into a park but they seem to have stalled.
