Here was the remains of an old steel vertical beam that used to hold up the walls of the old Transbay Terminal internal link. That old terminal was demolished to make way for the new Transbay Center external link. The barest rusty remains of the vertical support formed the letter T.

A galvanized steel pipe was embedded vertically in the floor of Elkhorn Slough. A hole had been drilled through the steel pipe horizontally near its top, and a steel cross piece was inserted through that hole to form the letter T.

A metal rail was found buried in the dirt near the stairs leading up to the highest viewing point. An attempt had been made to cut it off with a torch to make it flush with the dirt.

Along the shore of one of the marinas along the Canal de la Somme in France was this strange fire hydrant. The lack of valves suggested it may have been a dry stand used to pressurize the main water lines from the river in an emergency.

While motoring slowly down the Canal de la Somme in France, this crane loomed into view just beyond the trees bordering the canal. Something new was being constructed, but we could not tell what.

Construction materials were present in a yard behind a building supply business. A fence divided the storage yard from the road behind. Just beyond the fence was a concrete pillar that, when viewed through the fence was the upright of a letter T.

The dog named Maxx was found buried along the shore of the Spokane River. Flowers showed that someone still cared. The cross-piece was dry-wall screwed to the upright to create the classic letter "T".
