MSA The Gate to the Beach

The Gate to the Beach is located in Plymouth, MA. The iron work is everywhere here and I LOVE it!


I can't help but wonder what the pilgrims would have thought if they had seen "The Gate to the Beach", or the sign to clean up after our dogs, or not swim at night....


Or the parking lot and parking meters....

Things change, places change, people change, pictures don't change
Get out there and capture a moment today. It may not be the same tomorrow.

MSA Mineola, TX

My Metal Street Art entry today comes from downtown Mineola, TX. LOVE this water meter cover. In Mineola you take a pretty good step up from the roadway to the sidewalk. This cover is in the sidewalk and looks like it has been extended to meet the sidewalk level and then "patched" into the concrete OR maybe the road was lowered and new sidewalk poured around the meter cover and bricks that surrounded it. Either way...very cool... Mineola has great history

Metal Deposits

This is on the outside wall of the building that currently houses The Mineola Chamber of Commerce, Mineola, TX. This beautiful historical building was obviously a bank at one time. I am so glad that the building owners have decided to keep this little treasure in place.



Look up, look down, look all around, metal treasures aren't always on the ground
Keep snappin'

Marking your territory

This is in the sidewalk in Plymouth, MA. I can a only assume it is the contractor(s) that did the construction or poured the concrete. I love the patina it has taken on over the years of weather and traffic.


Putting a nameplate on your work, to me says pride, quality and longevity. I have spent a great deal of my life in the west in and around the construction business. Contracting firms used to place bronze name plates on large buildings. It seems like now no one bothers. Is there no pride in their work? Or maybe they know it will be torn down, or up, in a few years anyway to make way for new. That is one of the things I love about the New England area. They cherish, protect, and have an incredible pride in the past.
Look up, look down, look all around, what are you missing on the ground?

Keep snappin'

Drains to the Bay

Two weeks ago today I was in Plymouth, MA and I have to admit I am really missing the cool fall ocean breeze. It is just too warm and humid in Texas still!
**Sigh**......Lovely.......**Sigh**


This is my all time favorite utility cover. LOVE the color, LOVE the lobster, LOVE the sand on the sidewalk that surrounds it. **sigh** (again)


"Look up, look down, look all around, something interesting is on the ground"

Come on fall!
