The chairs had convened a meeting

The two square tables had been behaving badly, so the chairs convened a meeting to discuss the situation. It didn’t end well for the tables, who were outnumbered by the chairs.

What do tables have to do in order for chairs to resort to such drastic measures? You really don’t want to know….

The ghost of what once was

This wall beside a parking lot tells a story about what used to be here, before asphalt rectangles with space numbers painted in yellow were more valuable than buildings.

Speaking of rectangles: kind of a lot of them here, aren’t there?

On High Street

One of these was taken on High Street; the other one, high street. You can probably figure out which is which.

Tree, barely

I don’t know…there’s just something I like about a sky with just a hint of a tree at the bottom.

Here’s a similar photo from Fiji.

I am a child of the Plains – trees in large numbers make me nervous. And they block the view. That might explain my preference for shots with only the barest hint of a tree….

In triplicate

Well, I suppose if one stairstep-plus-an-arch facade is good, then three of them must be even better. Right?

If you keep on going past these triplets, and turn left at the end of the street, you’ll be on highway 207. Keep going long enough and you’ll end up in Silverton, Texas. Which should not be confused with Silverton, Colorado. Or Silverton, Oregon. Just to clarify.
