Beautiful distortions

I know, I’ve been ridiculously behind on blogging. Work happens to be kicking my ass right now. I supposed I asked for it by agreeing to this whole fulltime job thing. Sigh. I’m not complaining though. I know what it feels like to have no job, and that’s not so fun either.

But I have a nice thing to write about today: the kaleidoscopes on Octavia, the street near my house. There’s something I find incredibly charming about these eye-height, metal distortions of the urban scenery. I like that they’re only purpose is to amuse pedestrians waiting to cross the street. I like that nobody knows about them until they happen upon them like I did. It’s like a little surprise gift from the city.
