Opened the thread planning to say that I see examples of poor parenting, since my mass transit journey unfortunately encounters quite a bit. But these are great photos. I don't see nearly as much great architecture, except for this bridge:

Sometimes there's a houseboat on the canal when I drive to/from work that's called "si prurit scabendum" - Latin for "when it itches, you have to scratch"

My commute is a one block walk from my house to my office, so there's not much but a couple weeks ago I encountered a duck family that needed help crossing a wide street. (they were on their way to the LA River/Griffith Park side of the street)

Yes I did. It's kinda fun to block four lanes of traffic.

BTW, this wasn't the first time I had duck traffic on the way to work. A couple years back I encountered this family but they didn't need help crossing a busy street.

(At least once every two months or so.)

I used to have to sit there and sit there and sit there either to turn left in the mornings or to turn right in the evenings.
Now with the roundabout, I just pfffthhh right through. Everyone's adapted pretty well.
― pplains, Wednesday, 16 May 2012 04:10 (1 year ago) Permalink
The city put stop signs on our new roundabouts not long after they installed them, partly because people didn't know how to use them, but also because some of the properties on the corner had 6 ft or better hedges right up to the property line, so visibility sucked.

ppl you often see on your commute

in the morning i am often on the same train/get off at the same stop/work in the same building as this woman with long very straight black hair halfway down her back. she is maybe early 30s, olive-y complexion but not obviously of a particular heritage, slightly taller than average but otherwise a regular well-dressed young woman. she walks faster than i do.
but it's like her hair lacks friction or something? she always looks like she just stepped out of a pantene pro-v commercial; her hair is *shimmery* with each strand seemingly separate from its fellows.
i have no particular opinion on this look, but it is notable. she is 'the woman with the hair'.
there are other repeating characters, though mainly on the way home: 'the small woman i think is french for no good reason', 'the guy with the overstuffed backpack who simply must grasp the subway bar with both hands', 'the african preacher with tremendous enunciation' etc.
who are yours

when I commuted there was a girl who got off at my stop and walked my same route to work every day. I never saw what station she got on at, I never saw exactly where she worked, honestly half the time I never saw her get off the train but just in that moment when I wasn't really thinking about anything, BOOM there she'd be every time, always about half a block ahead of me. always wore blue furry earmuffs, a long black skirt, and one of those rubber backpacks that had spikes on it. she had white blond hair. I saw her up close one time & she had white eyelashes and eyebrows too. I called her my Albino Nemesis.

There's a guy I see almost every morning from the window of the bus as he walks along the same route who looks like Paul Morley (though he's a lot younger than PM). The first time I saw him in a local shop after seeing him through the bus window every weekday for a year my brain went "click! familiar person" and I was dangerously close to saying "hi Paul"
(Paul being probably not actually his name, and he had probably not noticed me inside the bus every morning)
other favourites include the Hipster Viking Games Programmer (works in the vicinity of a game dev company, wears a different-game-company-logo'ed bag and was talking game geek stuff to a friend one morning - prob not an actual viking but has shoulder-length blond hair and neatly-trimmed beard and looks more like Notch's online avatar than Notch himself does) and The Lady Who Walks A Dalmatian And Did Not Appear To Like Me Pausing Outside Her House To Stroke Her Cat

There's a woman who lives two doors down from me who works in the building next to me -- I have a complicated-ish commute with one bus and two trains, and a long walk across Kings X station -- I keep feeling like I'm stalking her. Then we both turn up for the same Waitrose queue at lunch, the same brunch places. It's odd.

Strange buildings at the National Arboretum:
Out-of-work Mercedes dealership and restaurant supply store.
Small park adjacent to the Sixth & I Historic Synagogue and within sight of the IBEW international office. I always feel like this is a bright spot on the commute once I get downtown, for some reason. A lot of that area in DC is just completely ugly.
