Something else I located inside the same church from yesterday, in the passageway from the kitchen to the sanctuary. I guess preachers need to check their look before the preaching commences.

Window Frame/Window (framed)

A frame, then a frame, inside another batch of frames. And some jagged glass, too, just to keep things interesting.

they continued to maintain an open-door policy

 

I have looked inside many abandoned buildings. And I will never, ever be able to accurately predict what I’ll see. I did not expect a kitchen in the back corner of this building that had a faded Lions Club emblem on the front. I didn’t imagine that all the doors would be open – or in that one case, hanging from a single hinge. And I didn’t even know that at one point the top shelves of dishwasher were a space-wasting circular design.

Photography: it’s educational!

Fancy Dress

I have a thing for store windows that are filled with (sometimes) headless mannequins wearing fluffy dresses.

See Roswell, New Mexico, Dodge City, Kansas, Lubbock, Texas, or Abilene, Texas, for a few examples.

Rolled, stored, and forgotten

So, I pulled off the road to photograph a falling-down wooden building. It offered only marginal photographically-interesting things, so I wandered around a bit more and then found this. I made the photo because of that rolled up thing in the corner, but between when I made it and when I wrote this post, I changed my mind: now my favorite part is the scars on the metal wall, which speak to generations of various kinds of farm equipment banging into the wall.
