#3, Hawthorne Bridge, focus on the circle between the east-bound ramp and the west-bound ramp

The CAT dumps dirt from its bucket into the second truck bed of a dual-dump-truck rig. I don't know the official name of the rig. Do you? By the time a few days had passed, the earth-movers had the ground sloped smoothly from the circle down towards SE MLK, the street you see with the crosswalk. The circle reminds me of a tilted bowl, low rim down by MLK. And on the left of this photo you can see the east-bound exit ramp of the Hawthorne Bridge.

#2, Hawthorne Bridge, focus on the circle between the east-bound ramp and the west-bound ramp

Here's the same circle from yesterday's photo--no snow because I took the photo on September 14, 2011,standing on SE MLK which is the street where the UPS truck was located in yesterday's photo. I couldn't imagine the purpose of digging up everything. The west-bound approach ramp for the Hawthorne Bridge is just beyond the tree beside the CAT. You can see a bit of the structure between the two green trees on the left of the photo. And those narrow horizontal rectangles to the right of the CAT are guard rails on the ramp. Notice that all of the shrubs from yesterday's photo have been removed.

Light and shadow, stripes and swirls, lines--seen at Pioneer Courthouse Square

Taken a few seconds apart as I walked from the top of the square to the bottom. Naturally the cat and its beautiful markings caught my eye. The time is about 6:25 p.m., thus the waning sun on the bricks.
