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.

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.

A wavy line
Just yesterday, I said the photo had “just about everything.”
But it actually didn’t. It did not have a single wavy line.
Today I am fixing my error, featuring this wavy-roofed place that is just across the street from yesterday’s photo. At least “everything” is close together….

Just about everything
Do your prefer lines in corrugated metal to run horizontally? Got it.
Or, maybe you prefer a vertical alignment? Got that, too.
Do you like metal ducts that shine in the sun? Yep.
Or bricks with random patterns of light and dark? That’s here, too.
Downspouts? Yes.
Guy wires? Certainly.
Four black windows, way up on the wall? Indeed.
This place has just about everything you’re looking for.

“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.
