Happy Spring

Critical Mass

When we were at  the Heidelberg Project a huge group of folks on bikes came riding through, some wishing us a Happy May Day. I asked about their ride and they said that they always go for a ride on May 1st...May Day. I was telling my son Mike about this and he said "Critical Mass". When I asked what that was all about he told me to google it. Ha....when your kid becomes the parent!

Going back to Heidelberg next Weds. Amy said that I need to get a wider view of the project for those people that don't know what it's all about. Hoping that we have a chance to go the Eastern Market as well.

Heidelberg: It's All Up For Interpretation

 I was confused. What time is it anyway and what are all these clock supposed to mean? Oh, ya...call a taxi!

 Where old appliances find a new life....well, this is better than being in a landfill!

Ha! 

Heidelberg Project

 OK everyone, here are just a few of the photos from Heidelberg. I still have a lot more to post and we are going back for another shoot next Wednesday.
I love this place! Don't know a lot about art and how to interpret it but I know that there is a lot of humor here! I was smiling the whole time I was there. On the downside, it is so sad to see the city in such a state of decrepitude. I can't believe how bad the whole area is although there are a few well kept houses on this block. So many of the neighborhood are like this but Tyree Green has made lemonade out of lemons. I choose to just smile at this small block of humor and whimsy.

I think that this fire hydrant was right in front of the house that burned down. The DFD just had to move the chair and pray that the hydrant worked.

Good Morning Mr. Robin
