Thanks for asking
Something old, something new (if you go right to left).
And – this is the best part, really – the other side of the old building had this:

C. City Rectangles
Someone who follows my blog recently commented on another photograph, “Many of your shots are of highly symmetrical subjects, but framed asymmetrically.” And look: I did it again!

Refrigerator Door
I had about an hour to spare. An hour in a town like Colorado City might have felt like an eternity to some people. To me, though, it was barely a start: I am already planning a return visit.
For one thing, I found this fantastic place – an abandoned building just a few blocks from the courthouse. All the windows were gone; so was most of the furniture. But the refrigerator was still there. Most of it, anyway.

“What do you see?”
Sunday morning in Austin, killing a bit of time before I have to head to the airport. I see this stripe in this parking lot and like how it looks with that tent way back there, by the alley. As I stand up, after taking the picture, a pedestrian stops, looks toward the same stripe, parking lot, tent, and says, “What do you see?” I try to explain, but even I can tell that my explanation seems lame. He’s unconvinced of my artistic vision, but I can tell that he may be convinced of my lack of good sense.
I get that a lot.

It all falls down…or gets bulldozed
Even though this church’s website doesn’t mention any sort of building demolition, but the reflection in the front door indicates that something is going on here.
The day I stopped by, there was demolition going on across the street, and now I wonder someone working on that project backed a bulldozer into the corner of this building. I’d say a return visit is in order – I’ll let you know what I find.
