After the cascade of bubbles (see previous post) subsided, the semi-frozen slush of sparkling cider could be seen down the neck of the bottle.

After the bubbles
Bubbles
What seems to be a recurrent theme with my photos: Carbonated beverages left in the freezer too long and what happens when the container is taken out.
With a bottle of sparkling apple cider... it's lots of bubbles.

Urban Light 6
Continuing with shots of the Urban Light sculpture at LACMA. (For the explanation, see this post.)
The night these were shot, the moon was full (or very close), so with these that gets the focus.

Tight shots of the dimpled ball of the lamp.

Urban Light 4
Continuing with shots of the Urban Light sculpture at LACMA. (For the explanation, see this post.)
This shot I share because of the difficulty in taking it. Not that it required great physical exertion, or placing myself in danger. No, all I did was climb some stairs.
Next to this exhibit is the multiple-story Broad Contemporary Art Museum building. On the side facing the exhibit are stairs running along the side. So to get a higher angle on the lamps I strolled over to their base, noticed no sign nor chain nor barricade, and then climbed to the first landing. I made no effort to be surreptitious in my approach to nor in my ascension of the stairs, but only after I was already up there did some men in sport coats from by the building on the opposite side of the exhibit come running and telling me I had to come down.
However, before they got close and I had to comply, I snapped off this one. Had to get something for my trouble. (Apologies for the settings--no time to make adjustments.)

Continuing with shots of the Urban Light sculpture at LACMA--this time focusing on the non-lamp parts of the posts. (For the explanation, see this post.)

Urban Light
Just outside the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), on its south piazza, artist Chris Burden restored 202 vintage cast-iron streetlamps in a project he called "Urban Light".
Since February of 2008 this exhibit has featured the lamps lighting up each night at dusk and staying on until dawn. (I am told they are powered by solar cells that charge during the day.) And there's no fee to walk among them; they're accessible from the sidewalk, all night long (even after the museum is closed).
These were taken on a Saturday night last April, about 9:30 at night.
(Yes, it took me all this time to get to posting these. Yeesh, I know. More shots coming soon.)

Pod
At the orchard in Yucaipa, beneath some trees the ground was littered with these spiked pods, which had opened, presumably releasing some kind of seed.
Update: An astute reader identified this as a chestnut seed. The chestnuts were already gone.
