Starting at joist #29

Here’s the second floor of the same building from yesterday. Those numbered joists are a nice touch, I think. It’ll be a shame when the final construction work covers them up…

I felt weird enough just taking a picture of this huge banner at the carnival; I sure didn’t feel like going inside…

Although I might have been interested in finding the person responsible for the random apostrophes on Olga’s banner.

Self portrait (or as close as you’ll ever see)

Yes, those are my feet.

I was watching the storm on the east edge of town as it built up. I am not particularly good at just sitting, and watching, and waiting for something to happen. But, Brett Erickson has been encouraging me to take a much slower approach to my work, and I was giving it a try. (Brett hasn’t steered me wrong so far.) That storm was interesting but I have to say I got a little bored by the time I left.

So I made a picture of my feet.

Clearly, I still need to work on that sitting and waiting deal a little bit more…

(I am gone for a while, and will not be responding to comments right away. But make some anyway, if you feel inclined, and I’ll get back to you – it just won’t be right away.)

Where open doors lead

I don’t actually know where these doors lead. It’s all about the mystery.

Except for the part that’s about not trespassing.

Stairway to…9th Street

What a graceful stairway! It connects the rarely-used plaza level of the Civic Center with pedestrian-unfriendly 9th Street.

As we say about failed architecture, “I guess it looked good on paper.”
