Why??????????????

Why...... Did someone pound a nail in here, on this tree???

More work but still don't know purpose

Do you remember the 3 story building which I pictured before? Click here for my first posting, of it. And click here for my second posting of it.

Anyway, none of us could figure out what the building was going to be used for... This is the front, now.

This is the side view now. And there are now two garage door openings.

This is the back. And I still don't know what it will be used for. Even after asking a man, who looked like he was somehow in charge. Funny that... All he would do was make 'funnies.' Why would anyone be reluctant to say, what the building was to be used for? Hmmmm... Makes me all the more interested...

Leaning... Tree, this time....

Thank you to those who tried to help me find Quint's blog. He contacted me, and I have his photo blog URL again. :-)

Everyone knows of the Leaning Tower of Pissa.

Well, here is a Leaning Tree of Saratoga. >,-)

Still... What is it?

We went to see if there were any changes, in this new construction.

It doesn't look too different than it did. But there is less snow piled up in front. From this side, you can see one garage door. Interesting. It doesn't exactly look like a one family dwelling.

So the question remains... What will it be, when finished?

Ever see snow 'curl'?

See the snow/ice hanging off the porch roof, above?

Here is a more close-up of it.

But even in this photo, I don't think it shows the way the snow 'curls' under, as it slips off the roof. This only happens for just so long, and the temperatures have to stay cold enough, so it won't fully melt. But warm a bit, so it will melt-slip a bit, off the roof. And 'curl' under a bit.

To really show it, I'd have had to trespass on this property and take a photo, from the side view. And I really didn't want to do that. :-)

I don't know what this is...

I don't know what this is. But it seemed to have "spring up" overnight. We were amazed when we drove past here and saw it, recently. And this is a route we take often.

It sits where a long-time-vacant lot sat. In a family type housing neighborhood. The lot was not over-grown, just a nice big yard. And the man who owned said, he was not going to sell it. But, I guess he did.

I wonder what all the regular homes think of this, sprouting up so high, in their midst? We have rigid zoning in this city. There are houses in that neighborhood, which have been converted from single family dwellings, to apartments. So I suppose this could be apartments/condos. Although it has the look of an office building, too. Only time will tell. :-)

More Aliens... ,-)

Remember Alien Eyes? This time, it sort of looks like the Alien is feeling the cold. His 'eye' looks like it's shivering. ,-)

Not "Alien X's"... "Alien-Eyes"!!!

I've seen photos of odd reflections make by sunlight, before. But I can't find an example, to link to. :-( Seems someone called them something like "Alien X's." The effect of an 'X,' made by sunlight reflected off of windows.

The pictures I've seen, were reflections on building walls. But all I could get was a reflection on a fence. The effect on a fence, isn't as complete and so, not as good. Sorry... But maybe someone will have seen these... And can take one, which shows the effect, in a better way than this one. :-) Meanwhile, I'll keep looking. ,-)

An Addition...
Thanks to Julie, I now have the link to the blog where the term 'Alien-Eyes' was coined. Please click here and scroll down and find wonderful examples of this reflection.
