Seen outside near the building with the mural, yesterday's post

After I noticed that mural and took those photos, I decided to sit down on the bench nearby so that I could look at the photos to see if I had some good ones. That's when I notice the words on the bench. I tried to hold my phone up high, parallel with the bench and take a photo without wiggling around and ruining the focus.

I think it turned out pretty good. I cropped and changed it to HDR at Befunky so that you could see what had been penciled in beneath the painted on message.

Neons are in! Street level matching colors, No. 5

Talk about serendipity! Look at this guy's helmet juxtaposed with the back of that stop sign on the corner of SE Stark and SE 6th Avenue! How cool that I snapped when I did and the camera got that split second in time! Wow! I'm excited about this photo.

Oh, before I get totally distracted by my excitement, look off in the distance, south down SE 6th. See those parked vehicles, many of which are red? They match the man's backpack. There's a north-facing red stop sign, too.

OK. I found something else that matches--there's a teensy bit of bright green there at the corner to the right of the bicycle's front wheel. When I clicked on the original size for an up close look, I saw that it appears to be what's left of a bottle brush, crushed and torn up by traffic, no doubt. And it's the same color as his jacket! Whoopee!

I took this photo on November 9, 2011, on my walk to work.
