This is a tough one for me. Rode practically around the island to find an eagle anything. The closest thing I've come across is an eagle on the Homeland Security Sign, but I'm scared to park my Scoot near there. Busy street and I feel like the agents might come storming out the door and shoot me. Alternative is taking a pic of F-15 Eagle taking off, but the timing and distance is very difficult.

Square patterns....
I think they call them tiles, does this count? I saw some with square
patterns called windows, but figured I'd get overruled. If it counts,
next tag is coming!

Follow that yellow brick road!
For this tag, let's have a "Wizard of Oz" referece. Your own yellow
brick road, Scarecrow, Tinman, or Munchkin....
Maybe you have a statue or mural in your town? Flying monkeys anyone?
Bring it!

Good tag!!! Not sure we have any yellow brick roads here in Birmingham. I'm going to have to take a look and see if I can find a scarecrow or something out as we approach Halloween.

No yellow brick roads down here. Scarecrow, maybe they have some hung for holloween. Haven't seen one yet.

How about this dude? I think I can take a picture of him. Have to stop in the middle of the street, tip him money, and take a picture before I get honked at. I drove by today, but he was not there. I guess he work later in the evening.

I'll leave it up to you guys. I would have said "no yellow brick roads" too. But I was driving up to tag something in particular and passed that sidewalk, and thought it would be fun. Have never noticed it before.

Go ahead and tag something that reminds you of The Wizard of Oz! Maybe it's your little dog Toto, or an old lady who rides a bicycle and looks like the wicked witch of the West.

I'm game! I'm just happy to be playing! Finally!

We should be able to come up with some scarecrows or something at this time of year. Maybe give it a few days and see if someone can come up with something with a Wizard reference. Those two pics are really close as far as representing the tin man, that's for sure.

Are yellow brick roads still a go?

Brick roads are very common around here. I live one one (red bricks, alas.) I would have taken some pics sooner but I couldn't get the time.

The problem is, after the best part of a century of use all the colors are now "-ish" colors: red-ish, orange-ish, tan-ish, and yellow-ish.

Yellow bricks are still the least common color. The brick road in front of my house, after years of use and repair (with whatever color happened to be on hand) would more properly be described as plaid. Razz emoticon

In the absence of bright sunlight, the bricks don't look bright yellow in the pics, but yellow bricks, they are.

If it's good to go, let me know and I'll post a follow-up.
If we've moved on, no problem, it was a good excuse for an early morning ride.

I vote YOU BET! Good Job, Menhir, the whole point is to get out and ride, right?
Thanks for staying with the theme.... I was hoping someone would find something to stay with it.... those cobblestones look much more precarious than the ones that I parked on.
Go get the next tag!

The funny thing is, that it's hard not to ride on a brick road around here. Or belgium block, or cobblestone. There's even a small old street around here that's made of oiled wood. It's still well maintained for its historic interest.

I'm still riding. After 4 weeks of absolutely miserable weather, today is the first day of an Indian Summer and it's (relatively) warm and sunny for the next few days. I never put my scooter up for the winter, but I still follow a hard rule about riding in snow or ice.

Not a scooter tag, but I came across this brick road today...closed for decades. I guess horses could manage what cars cannot.
It's much steeper than it looks in the pic.

An interesting or unusual street light/lamp post.

This is in Avalon, Pa.
Avalon is Gaelic for apple orchard. Which I think the whole town was, at one time.

Streetlights
This is the "Home of Wayward Streetlights" in LA. They've taken old
out of service street lights and put them in them in the middle of a
parking lot. Weird,huh? This was ALL the interesting ones to be
found, and in one place!

Home of Wayward Streetlights
Another shot from my real camera.. Pretty cool. At the base of each street
light it has a plaque with the address of where the lamp came from. Like a
little memorial to streetlights in LA.

A weird and interesting thing in the middle of a crappy little shopping
center in a not particularly interesting neighborhood...
