Leafy Fringe

Around the corner, a shy tree has taken root. The leaves, though, are thinking of checking out the world beyond their trunk. Leaves are like that.

The illusion of happiness

This place tried. I’m sure it did. Someone thought it would make a good event space and even draped some tulle back there to make…well, I guess they made draped tulle. Anyway, things didn’t work out and now it just sits there, all broken windows and pigeons and faded dreams.

It was only an illusion. (Or, to quote the lettering on the barrel, an “ilusion.”)

Balance seemed iffy

Is it me, or does that building look like it’s about to fall over to the left?

Or does that joist sticking out look like a crowbar, left for a giant who is going to use it to pry the place apart?

Either way, I don’t think the long term outlook is particularly favorable.

Available Light

Afternoon sun, on dead flowers, a leafless trees, and a window missing glass and screen.

Wall Texture

A ragged wall, shot through a dirty window: my favorite thing.
