Entertainment Options
There seem to be a lot of entertainment options here, and you probably share my interest in finding out what Del the Funky Homosapien is all about.
Just before I found these posters, I had an Incident: I tried to go into a bookstore, but the security thing at the entrance went off when I went in. The stoner guy behind the counter asked me to go out and come in again, which of course made the security thing go off two more times. He looked at my (very small) purse, and even through his herbal haze could tell I wasn’t using it to smuggle a book into the place. (Who’d smuggle a book IN, anyway?) Then he spotted the (much larger) camera, and had a Good Idea. He thought maybe I could just leave my camera with him while I looked around the store. I countered with a Better Idea: that my camera, my purse, and I just go ahead and leave. Which made the security thing go off one more time…

Co.
It’s no secret around here that I really like to make images in parking garages. But I also like to make images from parking garages – it gives me views of things that I can’t see from the street. Like this place, which used to be something and is now something else. (Yes, I went to grad school and studied historic preservation planning, which is what enables me to provide such insightful, articulate commentary. My professors must be very proud.)

Fleur-de-lis
The fleur-de-lis has a long history that spans religious, political, artistic, and other symbols. Of course, it’s also used as a decorative element in headboards, as seen here.
I think the fleur-de-lis designs really class up this scene, in a roofless building in a tiny Texas town. And not only that, they seem to be providing some sort of building-security function at the same time. Way to go, fleurs!
(Also: WordPress is pretty sure I meant to type “flour-de-lis,” which just shows what they know.)

Genres of Urban Art
There’s the professional, colorful, and complex one.
And the orange-and-black version.
And the spray-painted, hastily-done one.
And the peeling, tan paint, if you are pretty liberal in your interpretation of “art.”
