Dead end, probably

051316

If you’re like me, you’re probably wishing that those smokestacks lined up exactly over ALL of the trash dumpsters, instead of just two of them…

None of the streets here go anywhere in particular – the one between the building and dumpsters ends at some railroad tracks a block away, and the other one abuts a freeway. But that’s OK – development (or developers) hasn’t located this part of town…

These are not exits

Really. They’re just not. Don’t even think you can get out through those doors.

Pigeons: the evidence

I have a pretty strong idea that there are a lot of pigeons living in the structure of this parking garage. The amounts of pigeon crap and pigeon feathers give it away.

As did my personal observation of lots of those rats-with-wings.

But the lighting was nice, anyway.

Wastebaskets

I walked by this window several times each day I was in Phoenix; it’s in a part of the convention center that didn’t seem to be in use. One day, I did what I’d wanted to do since my first sight of it: stick my camera lens right there on the (dirty) glass and make a photo.

For a room that doesn’t appear to be in use, there are a lot of wastebaskets, aren’t there?

Elevator Lobby

I stayed in a new hotel on my recent trip to Phoenix. That is, the hotel was new. The building was a fantastic Art Deco place that must have been a bank at some point in its past. The main lobby and this elevator lobby were luxurious, and I enjoyed seeing all the architectural details up close.
