Highway junction

Snapped this scene through the window of a bus back in December, while I was making may way from Phoenix to Las Vegas.

(On a technical note: I wonder if the speed of our vehicle created some kind of rolling shutter artifact in this picture, as I’m not certain the sign in the foreground was quite so slanted in real life.)

Some uplifting words spotted a few months ago on the streets of San Francisco.

San Francisco, California, U.S.A.

An old-fashioned marker embedded in the sidewalk in San Francisco, spotted on my visit there back in December.

Phoenix, Arizona

So … something is happening to these bears … I just have no idea what. This mural was spotted just off Central Avenue in downtown Phoenix back in December.

Found this just a few steps from the Fremont Street Experience in Las Vegas, back in December.

SFO, San Francisco, California

From my trip to San Francisco in December: There’s something I find aesthetically pleasing about how the angles of the building materials interact in this airport terminal. The variable sizes of the holes in the metal grilles add a little something too.

Happy window

When the sticky notes themselves are the message. Spotted in San Francisco in December.

Not quite Paris

A good attempt, however, to recreate a Parisian streetscape in the heart of Las Vegas.
