An alley. Again. Of course.
It’s been a long time since I posted a shot from an alley.
If you think between May 9 and May 15 qualifies as “a long time.”
But, anyway, here’s an alley in the Loop, in Chicago. As alleys go, this is quite tidy.

A serpent and some flowers
A detail of the door pull on the Schoenhofen mausoleum at Graceland Cemetery. The structure is “inspired” by Egyptian design: it’s a pyramid.
Wikipedia reports that it is one of the most-photographed mausoleums at Graceland. Had I known that when I was there, I wouldn't have taken any pictures: I am a little bit cranky* that way.
But, since I DID photograph it, and got this relatively creepy shot of a serpent and some flowers, it seemed only right to share it.

*Maybe more than a "little bit cranky," to be fair.
A cemetery haiku, written from the flight path
She lifts her hand-less
arm as jets circle to land:
O’Hare is nearby.
An update, provided by another blogger, in response to the information that O’Hare International Airport was named for a man who “became the Navy’s first flying ace when he single-handedly attacked a formation”:
Single handed ace
O’Hare appreciates her

People? Again?
Honestly, this has me a little worried. First there was this shot, and then this one. Even yesterday’s alley had a person in it. And now, again with the people.
After all these years of people-free blogging, this is an unexpected departure from my normal shots. I can’t explain it. And you know what else? I’ve even got a few more shots with people….
