The gray pole and the girl on the bike

Her left hand disappears just beyond the gray pole. She's pushing the button to make the traffic signal change on NE Sandy so that she can ride her bike north across the street. I like the perspective here, the disappearing sidewalk and the rooftops that extend over the sidewalk. The pole supports the traffic signal for vehicles heading south at the intersection.

Looking at this photo, it's difficult to believe that NE Sandy is a four lane thoroughfare. I took it on Sunday, March 6, when I was out for a walk. It started to mist right after I took this one, so I hurried on home.

Windy after work and a gray pole in the distance

DSC_0077
On Monday because it was not raining after work, I got off the bus a few blocks early so that I could get in a bit of a walk. The wind blew through these foil strips at the Dave Russell Motor Co., making a rustling sound I could hear over the cars on NE Sandy. I wonder if any of them came from the pre-owned car lot?

Look way down the sidewalk, there in the distance. You can just make out a gray pole. Tomorrow's post involves that pole.
