On February 4 the Solid Waste Division partnered with Blue Jay Point County Park for a "Solid Waste Open House". On the way to the event I found these water towers. The one that is obscured by the trees says Hasty Utilities but you can't get close enough to it to take a picture. Believe me I tried!
This tower is in the community called Bayleaf, near North Raleigh and Jamie Oughton's parents house. With its close proximity to Falls Lake there were tons of vultures hanging out on it.
Hey Jamie!
The Scrap Exchange was at the event.
On the way home there was a beautiful rainbow.
