September Theme Day-Street Signs and Street Lights

Every weekend, we drive around the area just looking at the everyday things that make up the city in which we live. And, no matter how many times we may drive down a certain street, we always see something new. This month's theme day - Street Signs and Street Lights - caused me to look at the mundane street light. Some in this city are bare white bulbs hanging from a pole. Others have large, tin shades over them. Some are round, while others are oval. Most are plain, but some are quite ornate.

We found this street light on a relatively new street in the exclusive Belle Meade area of Nashville. The developer is building a number of three-story, Federal-style homes on land across from a golf course and the historic Cheekwood mansion. The street lights are black, wrought iron, and the light reflects through oak (above) and maple trees, as well as crepe myrtles. These lights emit a soft, sepia glow to the area and add to the nostalgic feel that the homes evoke.

You can check out the street signs and street lights of photo bloggers all over the world by clicking the links below! Please note that because of the time differences, some of the blogs may not be updated to theme day when you click on them.
