Arches - 1-24-15 - Image-a-day

I got out for an eight-mile hike today. It was a cold, grey, damp day, perfect for a long walk with some podcasts in my ears and a warm, familiar ache filling my legs and feet. Check here to see my stats and a map where I went.

I made a pass through the new Chesapeake Bay Foundation's Brock Environmental Center in the Pleasure House Point area and found this super cool drift wood archway on the path leading up to the center. I like how this rustic arch mirrors the sleek, futuristic arches of the building. The center is powered by wind and solar energy. The wind turbines were spinning fiercely in the strong north winds. It made me feel hopeful.

Friday Crush Hour - 1-23-15 - Image-a-day

I have a long commute to work that takes me through a tunnel and the traffic is often disagreeable, especially on Friday's. I always check the traffic cameras before I head out and today I was glad I did because it was a parking lot out there. There had been a fatal car crash earlier in the day that had brought all traffic to a full stop while the authorities did their grim work. By the time I left for home, the traffic was moving again, but the back-ups were long, so I had to use every shortcut I know.

Happy Friday!

Populuxe NASA-Style - 1/22/15 - Image-a-day

Last year my office at work was moved into a new building. It's a big building, very modern with long hallways and random hang-out and work areas scattered around. In one alcove on the second floor, I found this populuxe-ish light display.
