Last weekend I spent one day just walking around town taking pictures. That walk landed me in hot water, but that's another story for another day. Anyway, like any town, where we live (let's call it Kentsburg), has its' iconic structures and eyesores. Sometimes it hard to tell whether any given structure is on
e or the other, but all thngs considered I like where we live. Pictured to the left is the famous Kentsburg train station. Most of the outlying burbs have actual subway stops, but not Kentsburg. We have a train station that, although less convenient and more expensive to ride, does manage to transport a fair number of Kentsburgians downtown to their jobs. Truth be known this is a blessing in a way. Wherever a new subway stop is added to the metro system, high density townhome developments follow. Of course along with the new home development comes increased traffic congestion--which is bad enough around Kentsburg as it is.
Just across from the train station, the old cement factory has finally been torn down after more years of neglect than anyone can remember. In its place will
be.......a parking lot to provide more for spaces for the train commuters. Supposedly, some type of shopping or restaurant facility will also go in at some point in time, but I'm not holding my breath. These leftover cement supports will likely become our Stonehenge or Moai cultural attraction that will one day attract a growing tourist trade. Who built them and why?

Pictured here are three scenes from the bike path I frequently run on. These are just representative pictures at various points along the path that winds alongside a sparkling creek. These pictures were taken in the late afternoon, whereas I normally run in the morning. Of course, the temple (see the golden temple spires below) is majestic even in the early morning when the little angle blowing the horn is lit-up by the rising sun. The bike path is especially pretty in the early morning as the sun is just starting to rise. That is my favorite time for running this path.
