Have the sun's rays become frozen behind a fence in this South Pas alleyway? Whatever they are, the yellow posts provided a bit of unexpected cheer on yet another gloomy, overcast day.
I love it when I get to leave the first comment: amazing, isn't it, how ordinary items we normally wouldn't notice become extraordinary when painted an unexpected color?
Guess that's the reason we dyed our hair blue, green and Fuchsia in the eighties!
This is truly a mystery. Were the posts there before the fence or after? They don't look thick enough to be the kind of posts that are used to block errant cars. They're too substantial to have been markers used to line up the fence. Maybe they're some sort of useless project distracting the city from other matters. The posts definitely look "gumitic" (WV) to me, but only because of their color.
The fence appears to be new, Mr. Earl. And, I think you're correct that the posts are too thin to protect the fence from cars. Perhaps the yellow posts are gravemarkers for grasshoppers that made the mistake of munching on Laurie's pineapple sage.
This is quite the conundrum...interesting that the dirt looks recently turned and the lovely and bright sunshiny yellow paint looks new...
When I first looked at the photo, I saw the bright yellow, and the repetition of the poles...not thinking of the depth of meaning that could be ascribed to the reality of that which has been photographed...
It's just too early in the morning (anytime before noon) for me to think philosophically...I think I need to chew on this awhile!!!
Hmmmmmm, Laurie's got something there....I haven't had any coffee!!!! "All things in their time" as Annamaria said to Odd Thomas in the Odd Hours by Dean Koontz...a fine foray into the mindlessness of today's literature!!!!
In December of 2007, after many years on the west side of Los Angeles (and at least a third of those years spent stuck in traffic on Pico Boulevard) my family settled into a happy little house in South Pasadena. This daily blog covered almost 5 years as I put down roots in my new home town -- and almost 5 more as I settled in and became a South Pas old-timer. Here it is...my time capsule of South Pasadena.

I'll take any bit of color right now. Or maybe I'll be pretentious and spell it colour.
Apparently WV is in favor of orange hair: Proates.
Hey, it's flag day. So flag somebody down, and give them some flowers!
Wonder how many times careless drivers have backed into that fence? Or were you loitering around McDonalds again? haha
You may be right, Farmgirl.

Or, any other ideas why they are there?
