Of course you knew this: that the very instant I first saw this place, which was on a Friday night, I made plans to go back on a Sunday morning just so I could use “Heaven on a Sunday morning” as the title of a blog post.*

As it turns out, heaven isn’t too crowded on Sundays. Just a couple of guys working on repairing the brick street, a man on a bicycle who was shopping the trashcans, and me.

*I realize I could have actually taken this photograph any day of the week and just pretended I took it on a Sunday. But I wouldn’t do that.

The is the same building as the rectangle-filled place from Sunday, only closer. And with fewer rectangles. Although I think I should get rectangle credit for the shape of the painted-out graffiti.

From a photographic standpoint, it’s nice that whoever painted over the graffiti didn’t even TRY to match the color of the brick. But from an aesthetic standpoint, maybe they should have?

True story: just as I was writing this post, I got an email from the Utne Reader, with a link to an article about green graffiti. Obviously this trend has yet to arrive in Lubbock….

I can’t argue with my pal Ehpem, who recently pointed out that I tend to shoot a lot of rectangles; it’s possible I overdid it a little bit here.

It’s a rectangle overload.
