I found this in a building that was under renovation. I have a hard time thinking the renovation could have improved on these colors and that light. (But don’t tell the architect, who is also my Patient Spouse.)

Corkscrew and a bird

Usually, cotton gins aren’t right there in the middle of town. But this one is. Who knows why.

But anyway, the auger makes an interesting, undulating corkscrew-shadow on the corrugated metal walls, while one bird looks on. (Trust me on this: there were a lot more birds. It was somewhere approaching horror-movie levels of birds. Good thing for me they are camera shy.)

A slow creeping

The kitchen windowsill from the same house in yesterday’s post. That’s quite a healthy collection of cobwebs, isn’t it? And how about that thick coating of dust on everything?
