This is a patio right outside the tram station. From those telescopes you can see how high the mountain is. By the time the tram is almost at the top all you can see is a little dot.

| posted by Jose, 11:26 PM | 2 comments |Well ChrisJ, the beauaty of the digital camera age is that you can take so many pictures with no waste so I did take a shot of the whole truck. I did capture more than one image as I thought that the truck was very interesting. In the front it says it is a US Mail Truck, I love the American flag flying high next to the front window. I really liked the color of the truck, and the rust just added so much character to it. I think it was a great find, and it is parked only about five minutes away from my work but in an area that I never go to.

| posted by Jose, 10:14 PM | 4 comments |I captured this images last week. The first one the sun was almost gone but there was still enough light for the picture. The second one a truck making a delivery at work had a cool mural painted all over the box and I thought it would make a cool background for my car.

| posted by Jose, 10:00 PM | 3 comments |This is The Celebrity Theater in Phoenix, Arizona. The building has a round shape and it looks like it's too low. That is because it goes into the ground so the entrance level is actually the second floor.

| posted by Jose, 8:43 PM | 1 comments |This is a fantastic place to go eat Japanese food. The one in my neighborhood gets 5 stars from me. A little expensive for dinner, but if you make it for lunch it's very affordable. Now if anybody out there want to let them know I gave them kudos maybe they'll give me a discount the next time I vitit the restaurant. lol

They of course can only paint a portion of the wall or area predestined for them. I imagine at the end of the day it all gets erased and the next day the process is reapeated.
