Eaves 1

These ornately cut eaves are on the Swan Hall at OXY,  one of the original Myron Hunt designed buildings, which is currently being renovated.

On Track

No story here, I just really liked the pattern created by the shadow of the fence and the curve of the track!

Big O!

I just got back from visiting colleges with my son, and one of the places we went was Syracuse University in New York. It is a beautiful campus,  but I couldn't get OXY out of my mind!  The school color is orange, and, just as with OXY,  everywhere you turn there is something orange! They don't have an "O" this big though!

Summer at OXY

It's pretty empty on Campus during the Summer. Instead of thousands of students bustling around the quad there are just a few individuals enjoying the peace and quiet.  This group of high school students was the largest group I saw on a recent photo safari on campus!

Conduit Design

While looking around Yosemite Park, I noticed this nice graphic pattern created by the large electrical conduit on one of the High School buildings.  Having done some electrical work myself,  I'm sure "art" was the last thing on this electrician's mind,  but sometimes mechanical logic and order creates a simple beauty.  It sort of reminds me of the patterns on circuit boards, and I have always found them fascinating!

Signs of Eagle Rock - 5

This close-up shot of one of our local classic signs really shows it's age,  but to give the owner credit,  this would not be an easy sign to clean and maintain! Still,  I like to imagine what it must have looked like when it was new!

Tired?

(Sorry, couldn't resist!)   Used tires are just not the most attractive of products,  so I love that they have painted the fence in front with a rainbow of colors!
