something is amiss
Sometimes you work hard to find some kind of a metaphor in a possible photo.
And then other times, the metaphor is just RIGHT THERE on a silo that is falling in on itself, and becoming unstable. It’s probably only a matter of time until the whole thing collapses.

but treasures slowly fade
I have a thing for houses that have fallen so far down that I can see all the way through them. I’m not sure why, don’t know where this came from, but you can count on me to give a careful side-eye to every ramshackle house I go by just in case it’s got The View.
And in a shadow of a dead branch, and really, there’s not much else I could even hope for.

the flamingo
I cannot say for certain that this place is (or was) disreputable. I can say that I got that vibe from it, but that’s hardly a fact-based situation.

only one smile
Evidence suggests that wig-head models share sharp-featured Caucasian faces, big eyes, thin eyebrows, graceful swan-like necks (which they can pose at a variety of odd angles), and geometric heads. The jauntier of them may toss on a scarf from time to time.
But they rarely find anything to smile about.

human hair
If you can even believe this, none of the three people who walked by while I was poking my camera through the security gate to get this shot even acted like they wished THEY had had the same idea. However, as far as I could tell, all three of them did possess human hair.
