Orange Sign in the Poconos

This shot was taken just outside of Scranton while mountain biking in a State forest in the Poconos.  I'm not sure what the sign meant.  Ten more miles of road?  Scenic view ahead that scores a "10"?  Road number 10?  Maybe it doesn't mean anything and was put there by a state employee with a sense of humor, knowing people like me would tie our brains in knots pondering the possibilities.

Another Nay Aug Park Banner

I like the way this banner creates an illusion of looking through a window.

Nay Aug Park Banner

Scranton is a city that loves banners.  This one shows an electrifying view of Nay Aug Gorge.

The Tank in the Intersection

Here's something you don't see every day.  It really is a bit of a shock when you come around the corner and see it for the first time.

Everhart Museum

Dr. Isaiah Fawkes Everhart was a physician and veteran of the Civil War with a keen interest in natural history and science.  He made Scranton his home in 1868, and the museum was opened on May 30th, 1908.  The museum was his gift to the city.
