except locks: he can’t help with locks
I don’t even want to admit how hard I laughed at this particular juxtaposition of signage. Apparently, he can’t help with locks?

the message was stolen by time
That trailer used to have a sign full of Very Important Information. I mean, I guess it was VII. At this point, there’s no way to know that for sure.

buy/get
I almost never understand the things I notice when I’m driving around. For example: why would there be a spot in North Miami, Oklahoma, with a bunch of well-used fireworks stands just plunked down in a random pattern?
Maybe it was to entertain a certain photographer who was passing through.
And if that was in fact the reason, this certain photographer offers her thanks for the opportunities it afforded.

dog day
Sunny day. New-to-me vintage lens. A dog.
That is all I needed to fill up the time.

immaculate
Construction on this church began in 1604 and was completed in 1612; work continued on the Baroque ornamentation, and the project was deemed complete in 1740 when the frescoes on the ceiling were finished.
An attached monastery was partially demolished (to make way for other construction) in 1932; Allied bombing in 1943 destroyed what was left of those buildings.
There was a lot to see inside the church. It was overwhelming. Every view was full of…everything. Here’s a tiny slice of the interior, so you can get the idea of what we were up against when it came to knowing where to look and what to photograph.
