120812 color

What is going on here? This just can’t be right. Yesterday’s assignment for “color” was posted in black and white, because I liked it better that way. And here I am, back on the usual old buildings and I am posting it in color.

There really might be something wrong with me.

The thing that caught my eye with this shot was the pink window. I spotted it from a block away, and it just didn’t seem right to not show it in color.

But, to try to tip the universe back into rightness, here’s the same thing, in black and white.

Whew. I feel so much better now.

For a place where nothing was going on, this shot is remarkably busy…

Ah…downtown Lubbock. Where nothing ever gets noticeably better, but realtors seem to remain optimistic they can lease executive suites in this place, with its torn awning, crooked blinds, and broken windows.

If you’ve been around this blog for a while, it’s possible you’ve noticed that I sort of like photographing alleys.

Another view of the Sundial Bridge in Redding, California, that I first posted here. It is designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava, who has also been awarded the American Institute of Architects Gold Medal, making him the second Gold Medal winner I’ve featured lately.
