Diagonals
This time I was shooting through some old glass that had wire mesh inlaid in it. And look! The diagonal of the mesh and the diagonal of the stairs match.

Chain and Block (with pigeon)
The big wooden door on this abandoned building had a lens-sized hole way down at the bottom. You know what I did.
I like making these kinds of photos, shooting blind through holes or dirty glass, because it’s a (usually good) surprise when I see the finished image. If I’d been doing this the “right” way, framing up the shot and all that stuff, I’m not sure I could have done better than the way the chain, the concrete block, and the pigeon arranged themselves.

Closed, yet also open
Well, of course the sign says they’re closed – the place has been out of business for several years. But oddly, thanks to the large broken window, they are still open. In a manner of speaking.

One Down
The plan was that I would spend some quality time looking at this place – a farmhouse that was (marginally) still standing and the already-collapsed barn beside it.
The wasps thought otherwise.
The rough stucco walls seemed to be a place where wasps enjoyed building nests. Lots of nests. Lots and lots of wasps. And they were pissed at my arrival. A few of them followed me all the way back to the car, buzzing in their wasp language, “And STAY out.”
As a result, this is just about all I photographed. I know when to give up.

Slot Canyon
I guess you can call it a slot canyon, this narrow slice of dirt between two buildings. It’s also a nice repository for tumbleweeds, for sure, and possibly snakes. I did not investigate the snake situation, as my snake boots were, well, I don’t even HAVE snake boots….
