angel, three twigs, and an ant
Here’s a cemetery angel with what appears to be three twigs growing out of her face. There’s a huge ant crawling up her arm but it was the whole chin-twig situation that caused me to make the photo.
And also why do you suppose that angel wings are always depicted in sort of a partially-open pose, like a bird that’s just landed and hasn’t had time to fold away its wings? (Oh, yes: that is actually a thing I wasted some time thinking about. It’s stuff like this that clutters up my mind and distracts me from thinking about things that are important and/or have actual answers.)

Trapezoid
I am drawn to compositions like this one, with a roof slicing through the rectangle of sky. Sometimes less really is more, I suppose.

The way things overlap
Part of the same cluster of buildings where I saw this was a sight to make me very happy: metal siding, metal roofs (some even with pipes poking through them), bare tree branches, power lines, and that very nice brick tower.
Some days, it’s easy to do what I do….

Geometrics
In addition to the very nice industrial buildings I found in Caldwell, I saw this fantastic wall, full of rectangles and arches and polygons and angles. And brick and concrete and wood and asphalt and even a tiny bit of paint still clinging to the brick.

What I’d rather see
Caldwell, Texas, is a lovely town, with several blocks of large, nicely kept, older homes. It’s got a nice courthouse. It’s even the Kolache Capital of Texas!
And all that’s nice, it really is. But you know how I am: skip the fancy stuff, and give me some nice, old metal on a few industrial buildings and I am one happy photographer.
