Wind Turbine Tour

From yesterday's wind turbine tour at Turkey Point . . . 











What's up at Laurel Hill?

Several brass vases are missing at Laurel Hill Cemetery.  Is it still due to last month's debacle or are they being stolen by persons unknown?







What I saw recently

Some pics from around town over the last few days . . .

 Recent additions at the Catholic War Vets

 An old-timey sleigh of some sort at Toll Booth

 Several engines linked 

 Skateboarder at River Park.
Maybe he didn't see the sign.

Oh, there it is - right in front of him.

 Can anyone ID this type of plane?

 It flew low over the area on Friday afternoon.

 It's obviously a kind of cargo transport.

 Possibly, a C-130 something or other?

 Lots o' nuts 'round here

 Well, what the hell?
Part of a broken banister or headboard, left lying there.
Where did it come from?

 Why walk on the sidewalk when you have that whole street right there?

 Recent heavy rains have lifted the docks at River Park.
The sign says: ADA ACCESSIBLE PIER.  Somehow, I don't think so.
It also says: NO SWIMMING. Well, how else are you supposed to get out there?

 Another dock

A different view of the same

 Out for a swim

 Working at cross purposes?
Each has a priority: getting the story - and getting the selfie.

 An old-style street lamp outside Andy's Market.

There's a "C" on the base, presumably for "Columbia."

All lit up

Of the new bridge lights that have been installed, all are now in working order.  I took these shots on Saturday morning just before sunrise.  (A software glitch created the effect in the last photograph in this series.)
