Urban Scenery
You have probably noticed that I like making photos inside parking garages. And I know you’ve realized that I looking around back.
This image is what happens when I’m in a parking garage AND look around back!

Seating arrangement

There are a lot of things I like about this handmade bench: the 2×4 legs (one with paint, one without), the way the carpet’s not centered, the scallops on the bottom edge of the carpet, that dead branch guarding the approach.
But what I like best is thinking that someone missed their loved one so much they build it in the first place.

White on white, 16

Here’s the 16th installment in my intermittent White on White series; this one’s from a hotel room.
You can see the rest of them here.

No body parts

It’s nice to know that sometimes people do follow the rules: I did not see any body parts at all in this shrine.

Traffic calming (with balloons)

There’s a flag pole right there in the intersection of Myoma and Douglas Streets, like some sort of skinny traffic calming measure. (I didn’t see any other cars when I was there, but I did feel pretty calm, so maybe it works on people if there’s not un-calm traffic in the vicinity. Who knows. Traffic engineering is a complicated proposition.)
There were also two balloons, sagging with age, tied to the pole.
