What I Saw November 23, 2014

A few shots from around town today . . .

 Weathercock
There’s an old Jethro Tull song by that name . . .

 Cairn-like stacks of bricks,
Reminds me of something artist Andy Goldsworthy might have done.

 Stone facing on the pillars of the Visitors Center, similar to – but not the same as – those at the Columbia Plaza.

 Someone spayed creosote on this utility pole on Linden Street.
The problem is they sprayed the already narrow sidewalk, too.
Probably our friends at PPL.

 They’re still at it.
Inane graffiti at Locust Street Park.

And a hairline crack on a bench. Could be the beginning of the end for this one, as well.
