Chihuly and the city

It was just yesterday when I mentioned turning my back on the Chihuly to get a photo of a trolley. And look what I did today: a photo of those very same Chihuly pieces. Only in black and white, because that’s the way I am.

At any rate, here’s a look through the sculptures to the city.

Mixed Signals

Yes, the sign says one thing and the building’s condition tells me the opposite…

Another thing that doesn’t make sense

When I look inside abandoned places, I nearly always see something that doesn’t make sense, that’s out of place, that’s unexpected.*

In this case it was the chairs. Oh, and that lettering on the wall.

*The Patient Spouse maintains that one of these days I’m going to see a dead body. That may be why he generally waits in the car while I’m looking around.

On the third day

It was the third day of our trip. And it was Easter Sunday.

And we all rush away

I was driving home from a weekend trip, and this place flashed by on my left, which meant that I made one of those photographer’s u-turns to get back to it.

It’s spring and the snakes are waking up, so I carefully picked my way across the weeds, watching for slithering movement by my feet. A nearby bunny startled me, but I didn’t see any snakes. I didn’t see too much of the building, either, because of that barbed wire fence guarding the place.
