Daybreak

This morning I decided to swing through the graveyard. I have never walked around in this area of Fort Bragg before.

It looks quite interesting. Lots of older dates I want to check and local names like MacKerricher.

I'll be back. Hopefully before too long!

Sodium Vapor

Methodist Church by street light.


Another mis-aligned manhole cover.

And my first "Grate Painting"!

Strange

I started this "Walking Fort Bragg" blog on October 6th of 2006 and can't count the number of times I have walked or driven past this welcome to Fort Bragg sign and never noticed the Fort Bragg part is backwards.

I guess, because I have lived in or near this town since 1984, I already knew this was Fort Bragg and just never really looked.

Strange.

It's Happening

The upgrading of underground utilities and the refurbishing and refinishing of North Franklin has commenced.

Above, some of the equipment being warmed up just prior to the 7:00 AM starting bell.

The view of Franklin Street, looking south, from Redwood Avenue to Alder Street.

Puriety Market is just past the equipment parked on the left and our Post Office is located to the right, just beyond the parked truck. Everyone is stired up and inconvienced right now but it will be over soon and the potholes of Franklin Street will be a thing of the past.

For a while.

Daylight's a coming!

My friend Michel said she is looking forward to my study of the gates and fences of Fort Bragg.

So am I but it is still a bit early for handheld photography! The above gate was photographed at 6:20 this morning.

This one about ten minutes later. As you can see, there is hope in the sky!

The sun actually cleared the coastal hills at 7:15 AM.

Rainy Day

I’m thrilled to have one of my Walking Fort Bragg “oddities” accepted into a nationally famous museum. All I can say is, “It’s about time”!!


I have noticed the aerial poetry in our Fort Bragg skies made by power, phone and cable lines. The wiring also affords wonderful perches for our local birds.

But, like anything else, too much of a good thing can cause less than inspiring results.

As you can see, when my morning walk gets rained out I have way too much time to play around on my computer. The museum image was generated using an online program at: http://www.dumpr.net/

The “too much of a good thing” photo is from a very interesting blog at: http://thrillingwonder.blogspot.com/
