Inspiration
To accompany my personal goal of "meditating on a big idea" blog last week, I thought I would share a bit of what inspires me. Plus, I have finally got it together to post pictures.
The following is a pictorial of the scenery I absorb everyday on my 30 minute trek home from work. This is usually where I do my obsessive thinking and the occasional spiritual connecting. My favorite part of the walk is across this bridge which has a little guarded footbridge for pedestrians. Primary these photos are from the inside of the metal fence guard rail thing on the pedestrian foot bridge.
I approach this apropos corner everyday:
This was a gloomy day and I cheated too (the image is obviously from the car) and not my actual foot commute but this is good long view of the bridge:
View from the middle point of bridge around 5:15pm:
Secret footbridge artwork (Isn't street art becoming exceptionally evolved and jeez there is some real depth and weight in these anonymous works):
Over the one side of the bridge:
Post-bridge walk:
And finally my fiance and I thought this was kind of witty (actually, we just kept saying we should take a picture of it):

Wow, I completely love those pictures! Thank you for posting them. A few of the art things reminded me of Shem.

Wow, that 5th picture down, of the spaghetti head, is amazing. Cool stuff. We've got good public art in this city - also some serious crap, too.

I like the pics. It gives you a bit to think about walking home.Now that I have moved so far away I have been driving. My walks to work and home were also my time to think and talk to myself about things. I thing once it gets warm again the walking will start again. Very nice though.

Chef- yeah I can't even not be postmodern if I want to, go figure.
Jul- I felt the Shem vibe too. There is a sudo-sexual undertone to all his work.
Cat- True. Sadly, the crap outweighs the random spagettii head type work.
Nick, ACtually, I find I miss the solace of the car, although walking "seems" like a more open space to do thinking etc..it used to be the car for me. Well, honestly I could sing outloud and talk to myself and no one would notice.
Phylos, I adore the website of work from that guy. Fantastic! Thank you.

Ah, pics of termite art in Philly. It kinda made me miss the dump. And I say that lovingly. Thanks for posting them! The train tunnels from 30th street to Center City (if they still exist) used to have some great work in the daylight sections.

I finally got around to looking at the pics, em - they are great - makes me a little jealous that you have an audience for them - hey, time to get back to art for you girl.
