The things up there, #2
Looking up, again. Now there are those two light fixtures, hovering above an abandoned business and its vacant parking lot.

The things up there, #1
When I remember to look up, there’s a reward. There’s a twisted metal sign with an electrical wire hanging from it. There’s a water-stained wood roof that’s also got a wad of wires hanging over the edge. There’s clouds that look like cotton that’s been pulled apart.
I’ve got to remember to look up.

That’s quite a bit of red
If you peek in the window of this now-defunct restaurant, this is what you will see. There’s quite a bit of red trim, and a chair. A chair! And, note that this particular chair is not just sitting around; rather, it is hard at work making sure that door stays open.

“This is not my beautiful house.”
It was the part of town where a fairly high percentage of mean-looking dogs weren’t on a leash. Or a chain. I have an inherent fear of dogs anyway, and these particular animals looked like maybe they’d been waiting all day to enjoy a nice snack of photographer’s leg.
So, I stayed in the car to take this picture.
Which is why I heard the Talking Heads on the radio, singing “Once in a Lifetime” while I was shooting. And at the very moment I took this shot, I heard David Byrne sing, “This is not my beautiful house.” Coincidence or not – either way, I was greatly amused.
