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.)

And the spray-painted, hastily-done one.
And the peeling, tan paint, if you are pretty liberal in your interpretation of “art.”
