Where's This in Los Gatos?

This starts a new series in Los Gatos Patch, a fun guessing game. A mystery picture will be posted each week showing something in plain sight, but closeup or from an unusual perspective. Readers will try to identify the object and its location.

Look up, look down, look all around. Turn your head this way and that. Many of you have been here and seen what was here before, but few have seen this, because it's new.

This is an exercise in seeing outside the box. This is a fun feature, so wild and humorous responses are encouraged. Next week the answer will be revealed.

Looks like the orange pedestrian bridge at Lake Vasona, over which I bicycled many times

Mary gave the right kind of answer, she named a specific object. Penelope's answer was too vague. It this a fence, walkway, garbage container, roof or what? Penelope, you might be psychic, one of the future pictures will be in back of Old Town.
Anyone else care to guess?

A Patch water bottle, canvas bag, or T-shirt! I hold coffee with the editor sessions every Wednesday, usually in the afternoon, and she can come claim her prize then or I can drop it off at her house, or leave it at Starbucks. Most managers of coffee houses in town know me and have kept prizes for me before for readers to pick up! Thanks for playing, everyone! Thanks to Gary for submitting these!

It's not a fence as there are no locks on it. Which is a good thing. :-)

If you can't make then, I'll find out if I can leave prize at coffee shop. Boulevard Coffee has allowed me to leave prizes there for our readers in the past. Let me know and congrats!
