guest photo: it might get loud

yesterday's comments revealed that i had missed out on getting a picture of the traffic signs around the rose bowl warning of loud music. fortunately my friend debbie snapped a shot and passed it on to me to use today. thanks deb!

the whole u2 at the rose bowl show can be seen right here, although i must admit that the recording really doesn't do justice to how loud the crowd noise was. of course, a traffic sign is not a great warning to the surrounding area, and some people were not impressed.


if you want to see more of the massive stage, see my facebook photos here.

back to school

another summer has come and gone, and fuller seminary's fall quarter begins today. we're privileged that we get to wait this long, but that almost makes it harder to get back into the swing of things. this should be an interesting quarter - not only do i have some interesting classes, i'm also starting an internship at my church.

mixed messages?

freeway entrance and do not enter. love it.

210 east

los angeles county is known for its highways and traffic. california interstate 210 (known in these parts as the two-ten) is one of pasadena's access points to the massive county highway system. it is also a geographical dividing line which unfortunatley symbolizes a economic split between the constantly developing southern upscale part of town, and the older and more gritty northern part of town (which happens to be where i live).

epic ride, part 5, final photo

one last photo from our epic bicycle ride. if you haven't been following all week, you can catch up by checking out this link right here.

this photo was really funny to me. obviously we weren't the first cyclists to ride along the 2. but this picture also shows that we were riding near ski areas! crazy, right? i love it.

back to pasadena tomorrow.

where pasadena's finest hang out

nope, not fuller seminary, this is our police department. pretty sweet, eh?

not only does it look sharp, it also has a pretty fantastic view of town, situated right across the street from our beautiful library and diagonal from the impressive city hall.

fortunately i have no experience in this building. any pasadena readers care to help us out on what it's like on the inside?

sign of the times

if you are a browser of pasadena photo blogs, you may have already seen this posted on petrea burchard's lovely blog. it's just such an interesting item that i had to have it on my blog as well. can't help but wonder if these are recycled signs, or were created new for this project. either way, it's very eye catching.

*update - petrea informs me that this artwork created by jack sullivan is actually called "sign of the time". my title was only one letter off!
