The Flickr Safetybollard Image Generatr

shot in alcudia, a beautiful historic village in the north of mallorca. a solitary yellow bollard stands on a crosswalk, sharply contrasting with the grey pavement. shadows and light create a geometric pattern, emphasizing the bollard's presence. the background blurs into soft focus, giving the scene a sense of urban stillness.

Red prayer flags strung over a green ficus fence.

After I finished taking pictures I removed the cushioned sheaths and ran off with them. I've got them here in my apartment as I write this.

Do you remember when there used to be a window to the right of the garage door? And a gas meter?

I guess it was easier to remove the gas meter than to yank up its protective bollard.

This style of urban lightpole used to make me feel romantic and cosmopolitan until people started replacing the bulbs with helical compact fluorescents from Walmart.

Helical compact fluorescent lamps are aesthetically appropriate for use only in fixtures that shield the bulbs themselves from direct view. I think most Americans know this, but they can't afford to buy anything nicer.

I wish that the names of U.S. municipalities wouldn't all've gotten settled generations ago, to suit the bland tastes of long-dead well-to-do, because I'd like for there to be a municipality called Partyport. Ideally, the city of Partyport would be a county seat.

This old business is in Jackson, Michigan, which is totally landlocked with no water running through it but for an itty-bitty creek, so it's a demonstration of the far-flungedness of humans' wandering imaginations that somebody in Jackson of all places was thinking about ports of all things. Maybe the owner had long dreamed of being or marrying a stevedore.

Or is 'party port' a wordplay of 'portapot.'

The lettering looks like it predates the times by which the word 'port' in its hi-tech sense could've ever reached widespread usage in Jackson.

The story I heard was that the rim of the cactus's sombrero and the bumper poles at the entrance to the parking garage were each required to be painted the color of Santa Fe Turquoise Jewelry in order for the development to be granted a zoning variance, but I figure that the person who told me that was probably joking.
