someday when the prius grows up....

Someday when the prius grows up, it wants to rush to the clarion call too!

I was walking back to the car when I heard quite a ruckus, there was a fire/rescue call at an apartment building near where I was parked.


Lori says that someday the watertown fire trucks will ripen and turn red.

Some days it is nice to work outside...

Sitting in my car today, I noticed this fellow out of the corner of my eye, managed to get one good shot of him, just barely.

Couple of new shots...

I found this building down in Binghamton the other day. As a Mason, I've recently been learning about styles of Architecture, and I'm honestly not sure What this one is, but I found it very attractive visually. There is just So much stuff going on with all of those columns and such. It looks like a dentist built it years ago, and it is one of the key buildings in downtown Binghamton. I love the colors and the busy nature of the building. It is to my eye, akin to the 'painted lady' Victorian houses of old.

Earlier the same day I happened upon a Hysterical Marker:

and the Tower for which it was placed, which was built to test telegraph transmission to Moving railway trains on the Lackawanna Railway. Binghamton has a huge railway presence to this day. Numerous low overpasses around down. I used to manage a trucking fleet which delivered to the area, and I had several trucks damage trailers under those rail bridges. Much to my drivers' and my chagrine.

The other day I was toodling around southern Herkimer county, and happened upon this beautiful scene...

Now when it snows, I can't do photos for work, so these fence photos were just about the only shots I managed to get in that day.

For my Masonic Friends

Thought you might enjoy this one...

this archway is in Binghamton (one of at least two, that I've found so far). I'm not sure if it actually refers to Lodge, but it sure seemed neat to me.

just a nice scenic road near Rome, NY

what did the reporter do??

OK, saw this building... and it had this fascinating sign posted on it...

remember, the building houses a sign shop...

I wonder just what the Bad News reporter asked?
