While looking for an entry for Cee’s weekly B&W challenge I found this photo in my archives. At first I thought that it was an example of redundancy—a light pole with a banner of a light pole on it— but after mulling it over I choose to view it as an inspirational event: Perhaps the lowly parking lot light pole wants to grow up and become a sidewalk light pole on the bridge. Or not. Yeah…it has been that kind of day.

Nice post-processing. I like your humor about the pole wanting to grow up, lol.

Thanks, Jeremy. I like the editing effect and the “growing up” part only occurred to me as I sat and looked at the final product.

I used Snapseed to add some texture and it looked to me like the photo was printed on a leather surface, but now I can see what you observed (and it may be more to the point).
Thanks for the comment, Jude.

The idea of a parking lot light becoming a bridge light gave me a chuckle.
