Work Environment

011115

Sort of bleak place to work, if you ask me.

But I do like that desk lamp, pointing toward the empty chair. And the little nest of phone cable is a whimsical touch.

The Grand Dame of East 3rd Street

She’s seen better days, hasn’t she?

It all falls down, eventually

If this looks familiar, it’s because you saw it the other day, in the background of this image.

I am not sure what’s keeping the rest of that wall from collapsing. Habit, maybe.

Lambs, and a song

010915

Thanks to a very detailed county map at our hotel in Eureka, California, we wandered to Ferndale one day. Among other lovely things we saw in Ferndale was a particularly lovely cemetery. The flowers seem on the verge of taking over this child’s grave, with its request to feed the lambs.

And, now, because I haven’t posted a link to an only-marginally-related-to-the-topic-at-hand song in a while, here’s a Jenny Scheinman song that mentions Ferndale.

’bout Time Liquor Store (closed)

010815

Actual conversation:
Me: I don’t see ANYTHING I want to shoot. And, it’s cold.
Me (one millionth of a second later): Look at THAT!

Because how can you possibly pass up the chance to get a shot of the ’bout Time Liquor Store, which was apparently lying to us, since it wasn’t even open!?

PS: I wasn’t really talking to myself. My spouse was with me, sitting in the passenger seat, rolling his eyes at the complete predictability of it all.
