rain + broken glass

For a couple of strange reasons, I had a strong desire to photograph this town on a cloudy day. I waited about a month for clouds to show up and then (bonus!) I got rain, too.

municipal trident

I sure enjoy finding disused municipal buildings with the dashed dreams, the obsolescence, the broken windows, the non-operational signage, the random tridents….

table 3, with condiments

Did you notice how I posted a photo with the number 3 right there and it’s the third day of February?

And did you think, “Oh, my, look how terribly organized she is, posting a 3 on the 3rd!”?

Let me assure you that it was definitely not planned. Nope. Not one bit. I am sorry for the vast disappointment you must be feeling right now. Tomorrow’s photo wasn’t strategically planned either so now would be a good time to start managing those expectations.

a reflective day

At some point and for some reason this lumberyard storage area became a place for random cast-off stuff. I glanced at it as we drove by, but it took until we’d turned the corner for my mind to register that there was a big mirror on one of the discarded things.

I guess I was hoping for something more dramatic in the mirror, but I’d invested something like 32 seconds walking back to photograph it, so dammit: I’m posting it anyway.

similarities

I remember when I saw this a couple of years ago – I almost hyperventilated at the sight of two things that were so different, yet somehow almost the same.

I remember my traveling companions rolling their eyes at my breathless state.

I remember making the photo.

What I don’t remember is why I never got around to posting it until now…
