The last two weeks have been overload at work. On Saturday, I took a break from the office desk to enjoy the great afternoon while waiting our deployment process to complete. With camera in hand, I headed out of the office. The Cascades building across the road have several clumps of grasses planted in the flower beds.
Autumn Grasses
The low afternoon sun provided a nice backlight for the grasses. During autumn, these grasses take on a golden color.

I made my way up to Samson Park, where the sun lit up the polyhedral shelter.

Entering the shelter, the translucent faces took on some of the color of the deep blue sky.

Several lamp posts light the path that runs through the park. The white globes of the lights stand out against the blue sky.

At this point I switched to a Lensbaby. One feature of Samson Park is the “Mohawk Wind Sculpture” that I photographed in a previous post “Fall Colors At Samson Park“. This allowed me to capture an abstract image of the sculpture.

One of the sculptures in the park depicts a couple of lovers huddled on a park bench. Here the lady is in a state of eternal bliss.

XCelEnergy have been busy in the street installing new cabling or upgrading existing power distribution cables over the last few months. There was a construction crew busy this weekend too. A few weeks ago they completed construction that included this manhole cover that I pass everyday. The red stripe makes this feature difficult to ignore.

Returning back to the office, I noticed this array of brightly colored valves that are used to supply water to fire trucks in the event of fires.

Finally, it was back to the office to check on the deployment of the application. Entering the building, these trees were silhouetted against the blue sky.

After checking on the successful deployment, it was home time!
