This was not the first time I’d stopped at this abandoned place in Santa Rosa, and I am relatively sure it wasn’t the last time, either. Santa Rosa is one of my favorite places to shoot, as it’s got a nice range of the subjects I like to capture. You know what I mean….

cabinetry
This building is boarded up now, but back in the Olden Days of 2014, all I had to do to see this scene was to walk down the alley and look through the broken glass.
The real question here (and it’s one I cannot answer) is why I would have waited 405 weeks between when I made this photo and when I posted it.

the sign of the feather
That giant, padlocked chain won’t really keep anyone from getting inside, since the glass is all broken. But still, it does perhaps serve as a warning.
But mostly, that feather – all ragged casting its shadow on the door frame….
(Unrelated to the photo, but while I was here, a man pulled into the parking lot. I was pretty sure he was about to invite me to move on along, but what he was actually there to do was to feed the stray cats. After he left, I walked around the end of the building and there were nearly a dozen cats happily dining on food that he’d thoughtfully placed in several places.)

Yes!
Remember when “cashing checks” was like a regular thing that you did?

“executive” is not the word I would have used
Someone may not understand the implications of the word “executive.” None of the things here – the broken windows; the wonky, old-time Venetian blinds; the awning frame that lacks an awning; those awful benches; and even the weather checked sign conjure up anything that the word generally implies. But maybe someone needs credit for trying?
