Four Doors
This place used to be a motel. This must have been the low-rent section, because the other part had carports next to the rooms; that’s a nice touch if you need to leave your car outside in a Texas summer.
But the arrangements of four doors and four windows was quite pleasing.

Fleur-de-lis
The fleur-de-lis has a long history that spans religious, political, artistic, and other symbols. Of course, it’s also used as a decorative element in headboards, as seen here.
I think the fleur-de-lis designs really class up this scene, in a roofless building in a tiny Texas town. And not only that, they seem to be providing some sort of building-security function at the same time. Way to go, fleurs!
(Also: WordPress is pretty sure I meant to type “flour-de-lis,” which just shows what they know.)

A Marked Entrance
My guess is that this a neighborhood bar. The building doesn’t have signage other than two neon beer signs (Coors, of course, because it’s in Colorado; and Budweiser), but it has the look of a place that gets a lot of business. For example, the way the door is worn and dirty in a semi-circle around the doorknob, from patrons shouldering their way to grab a cold one, and from the smattering of cigarette butts that didn’t quite make it into the ashtray.

An Illusion. Or Not.
I was in Washington, DC, recently for a conference. Of course, I took my camera. But you know what? I just wasn’t feeling it – in 5 days, I only made a handful of images.
I did get this one, though, so maybe my camera earned its keep on the trip.
