Leany telephone poles near the western edge of the ALO region.

Nearby confluence of two similar sized creeks to form Leola Creek. One of the 2 retains the name upstream. This would be the creek to the left in the below photo. The other one is called Blue Mountain Creek. Correspondingly, it flows through the middle of the Blue Mountain downtown region about 2 miles upstream from here. This is truly an important fork: a name decision of some consequence in both physical and psychic realms. The next day I would wade past this confluence several times. More on the wading story in the next several photo posts here.

A rock with bird feathers on its top lies near the opposite shore: Feather Rock, then. Again, sorry about the overexposed pictures. I usually hike more toward the middle of the day when exploring the Blue Mountain Urban Landscape. Tough to take a decent picture then with my 15 year old camera I’ve lovingly nicknamed “Liquor”.

Back up from the creek, and on the same property shown in the first photo above: a purple vacuum cleaner with green trash bins.

Lookout near Point-1 from the other side of Leola Creek. Originally pictured here.

At the back of the same commercial building with this lookout: a perhaps disrepaired fruit drink vending machine. Well, who needs those anyway when you have cokes and pepsis?

Another picnic table was found this day, tucked around a corner of a neighboring building.

Also on this day I explored more of Leola Creek’s mouth, finding some nifty and meaningful things. A nice fishing or wading pool exists on the creek it empties into (unnamed, as stated)…

… formed by a dam at this power station. The Leola Creek mouth would be just downstream from here.

Yet another picnic table was found positioned near this mouth, light blue in color. What a nice getaway spot.

Back in the Urban Landscape proper, this butterfly posed for me on a leaf in bright sunlight. It’s really been nice up here in Blue Mountain for the past couple of days. I even took off Friday to enjoy the weather, and may take half a day tomorrow (Monday) as well. We’ll see if I can wrap up some stuff at work first.

The word “ALO” found in a bus stop. Admittedly I doctored this photo a tiny bit, erasing two dots within the “L”. I think it is suppose to instead be an “E”. But now it’s not. The bus stop is located on the south edge of what I’m calling ALO, and I think the graffiti could be a synchy resonance anyway, if only for my eyes — and now your eyes, dear reader.

More “messsages” wtihin the same bus stop.
