Odd Photos

From time to time, I run into interesting things to photograph. Some of these happen when all I have is a 640x480 phone camera, but snap I must.

The Cube Of Cones

On 17 August 2005, I was in Balboa Park in San Diego and I spotted a cube of cones. This cube, about eight feet on a side, was covered entirely with brand new orange traffic cones.

Notwithstanding the unusual arrangment of these cones, I had never seen so many brand new traffic cones in the same place! All were perfect.

I asked a workman at the site what it was and he didn't know. I suspect it's part of an upcoming exhibit, since the three art museums adjoin the open plaza where the cone-cube is being "erected."

Close up, the cube looks even stranger.

If anyone knows what this is (San Diegans, it's bound to be talked about!) please email me!
