Three arches

012113

Another scene from an alley, this time in Austin.

I like the little window air conditioner.  And I like the scraggly tree, trying to make a go of it, even though it’s not likely anyone tends to it.  I like the metal door.  I like the texture of the wood at the top of the building and how it contrasts with the brick.

But mostly I like the three arched openings and the way they’ve been bricked in.

  1. I have a particular fondness for infilled openings in brick walls. There would not have been much wall when all three of these ones were open. Probably a very bright space in there. I wonder what they did which needed so much light – manufacturing something perhaps.

  2. It would also have been a very warm space, as those windows face south!
