What I saw recently
Some recent odds and ends from around town . . .
Civil War figurines at Fifth and Cherry
Open window and nobody home on Second Street
Abandoned Big Chiller cups on the steps of the old United Telephone building
More leftover containers - this time at River Park.
Interestingly enough, there's a trash can right at the top of the steps (seen in this photo).
Maybe the former owners of these cans didn't want to throw away the metal, and this is their idea of recycling.
Back in the 60s, this was the Hi-fi Record Shop.
A recently painted hydrant at the bottom of Fifth Street
Two guys working atop a train car
Shadows and reflections
Baby snake smashed flat
Sludge down by the shore.
Anyone still think the Susquehanna is not a sick river?
What I thought was the mouldering pelvic bone of a hobbit turned out to be some sort of plant structure that someone tore out.
Chalk outline at a murder scene?
But the victim must have disappeared before the outline was completed.
No way this will pass a code inspection. Pictured are steps leading from the sidewalk to a basement on Walnut Street. They're covered by a piece of corrugated metal roofing (the white area on the upper left). There's also an old piece of wood along the side (upper right) as well as some plastic sheeting. Maybe the residents are having a problem with rainwater seeping into their basement, but this is not the proper way to fix it.
QRS has moved.
On the waterfront
Chiques Challenge participants
A boater took cover under the bridge during a recent downpour.
Another boater didn't. He decided to put his boat in during the deluge.
A flotilla of canoes (and kayaks) sailed downstream last Saturday morning.
I think the participants were members of a boy scout troop.
And there they go!
Flower power
Morning glories in all their glory
Sagging sunflower
Pretty petunias
White morning glory
