Taken along Route 66 in Pontiac, Illinois.

I'm not entirely sure why I take pictures like this. I guess I must walk around with my head down a lot. We spent a considerable time wandering around Pontiac during our Route 66 trip and found it to be an interesting place with lots of wall art and murals related to Route 66. And then there was this.

Taken at Summit Park in the Blue Ash suburb of Cincinnati, Ohio.

This was found at the base of the tower at the park. I think it is some sort of a light, but I've not been there at night to verify my suspicion.

Taken in downtown Covington, Kentucky.

My sight is such that I have to pay close attention to where I step so I look down a lot and see things like this. Around here, yellow means gas and blue indicates water.

Since it is a casting, I tend to read what it says regarding where it was made. Lots of castings in our area were made in Michigan like this one was. Most summers we pass through Jackson, Michigan (where this was made) on our way north to the Petoskey area. There is a big prison in Jackson. Do you think prisoners make these things? (just kidding i think)
