Unleaded (with bonus bird)

The gas-pump soldiers stand ready. But it’s going to be a long wait since the place is out of business.

And, in the meantime, pigeons coo and swirl all around. And, in one case, get caught in the image.

One-Star Place

This may not be the ONLY one-star place in town, but it is definitely one of the one-star places!

Post Office Saturday

Then there was that Saturday when I went with the Patient Spouse to check his business’s post office box. You are probably surprised at the wild life we lead.

Chain and Block (with pigeon)

The big wooden door on this abandoned building had a lens-sized hole way down at the bottom. You know what I did.

I like making these kinds of photos, shooting blind through holes or dirty glass, because it’s a (usually good) surprise when I see the finished image. If I’d been doing this the “right” way, framing up the shot and all that stuff, I’m not sure I could have done better than the way the chain, the concrete block, and the pigeon arranged themselves.
