gone for a spin
I cannot explain why I always think laundromats need to be photographed. My brain, which can sometimes* be surprising stubborn, just insists on it.
So naturally, while I was wandering around the North End, with all the history and culture and whatnot, I went inside to look at clothes rolling around in a dryer. The Old North Church can just wait a few damn more minutes.

*Always, actually.
walk v. ride
I haven’t been out making new photos lately – other stuff has taken priority, etc. But luckily I have a gigantic archive of photos that I never got around to editing.
So, anyway, today kicks off a little series that I’ll call When I Went To Boston.
The way the part-of-a-person seems to be striding so confidently past the row of bikes makes me laugh and you probably know by now that if a photo makes me laugh, I’m gonna eventually post it…

like a rug on a wire
Look! Here’s a rug that was stabbed onto the top wire of a barbed-wire fence. I can’t image why, but how about that color pallette?

liberty + rules
Let’s go ahead and call this folk art, because I’m not what else it might be.
The Statue of Liberty is made from a stump of one of the town trees that died; it was carved by a regionally-famous chainsaw carver.
I don’t hate it – in fact I really like repurposing the old metal tank to make sort of a retablo. But I am not a fan of the giant ten commandments over there in the background. But if you feel the need to go read them yourself, here’s Helpful Hint: there’s a spotlight on them so you don’t even have to race sundown with the short December days and all.
And, finally, here’s a Fun Fact: all of this has been assembled by the town’s mayor.

Chuck Norris found seasonal work
I’m as surprised as you are that Chuck Norris has taken a seasonal job as Joseph in a roadside nativity scene.
But if you think WE are surprised, check out Mary; apparently when she got the news it was so shocking that it made her head break open.

PS: Also, this is literally Jesus of Nazareth.
