What's that bit of blue peeking over the top of the wall?




In my never-ending quest to find blue things to show you, I've found something unique. A bunch of blue portable sanitation units--(ahem!) porta potties. We were driving down the highway, and I spotted this place. It's where blue outdoor toilets rest between jobs.


They were lined up ten deep for about 500 feet!




Notice the one on the right is sporting some white graffiti.





There's always an oddball hanging around!




An open invitation.






I'll bet you have never seen so many portable sanitation units of any color!

    Now that's a LOT of porta-potties! I've SEEN as many in various spots here in Southern California but never thought to snap photos of them. They DO make for a unique Blue Monday post ;--)
    Mine's up at Sacred Ruminations ... blue views of Lake Arrowhead ;--)

    Oh my! Is that the storage for them? I can't imagine anyone needing so many. When they were building our pool, we had one of those parked on our driveway. I couldn't go near it...Christine

    Hi Sally! I followed the link from Jean Stockdale's blog to your Blue Monday photo challenge and thought it would be fun to participate today.

    We have a neighbor who sometimes puts port-a-potties in his yard when he has a party! Fortunately, we live on enough acreage that they are a comfortable distance from our house, but....

    Nice to meet you!

    Blessings,
    Patricia
