Layers peeled away
The inside of this place is in much worse shape than the outside. For one thing, most of the windows are broken, so moisture and animals have free access. And – this is new – there’s a hole in the roof, which is letting in water every time it rains. The paper on the gypboard walls is starting to peel away. While that’s never a good sign as far as a building’s longevity, it does make for some interesting photos…

The line beyond
This is my country place.
Or, it’s a hut that happened to be already there when I bought the land. One of these days – sooner, rather than later, I’d say – it’s going to fall down. But for now, it makes an accommodating subject for a late afternoon photo. I like the ambiguity of the horizon line in the window – it’s hard to tell if it’s a reflection or if it’s a view all the way through the hut.
Oh, and while I was outside making this image, there were three other photographers inside. They were all from out of state, so I left them to the inside: I can go back any time.

Pendant lighting
+ A lone light fixture that hangs from the ceiling – Wikipedia
+ Pendants may offer the greatest opportunity to make a statement and introduce a pop of personality – Pendant Lighting 101
+ Providing both illumination and style – Bob Vila
I think we’re going to have to go with Wikipedia on this one, don’t you?

Cat at school
Remember the other day, when I mentioned a farmer using the old school grounds to store fertilizer tanks?
Different place, same thing – only this time someone’s using the playground as a parking lot for their Caterpillar. (I was going to say “Caterpillar bulldozer” but then I thought it might not actually be a bulldozer; I hate to be distributing incorrect information here on the blog, so I decided to leave that word out. If any of my loyal reader(s) know what this equipment is, please let me know. We here at One Day | One Image try hard to be as informative as possible.*)

*Sometimes
No context
A brick wall. A rolled-up snow fence. A boarded-up door. I like how they look together, but without the context of the whole building, or even the town itself, it’s hard to know what it all means…
