A high-angle, close-up shot of a metal "ELECTRIC" utility cover set into a concrete sidewalk. Glued to the cover is a custom plaque tile with broken edges, which reads: "Ocean Beach Historical Landmark 'Short-Stop'. On December 14, 2021 this once fully grown traffic light fell over to its death by very strong 30+ mph winds. 3 days later "Short-Stop" was resurrected." The toe of a dark boot is visible at the bottom right.
A high-angle, close-up shot of a cracked white crosswalk line on dark asphalt. Embedded in the paint is a small, yellow, pixelated robot figure, reminiscent of 8-bit art or a "Space Invader" mosaic. At the top left, the toe of a black athletic shoe with a red sole is visible, providing scale.
