U-Haul Parking
Some of my favorite things came together here: a wide gravel parking lot, a lonely building, some good clouds. Add in a U-Haul trailer, and I am a happy photographer!

Rectangles: too many to count
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.

Roll Arena: 2
I am guessing that Patio 2 (and its counterpart, Patio 1) probably serve as smoking sections when the place is open. It’s sort of hard to imagine now, but back when I went there as a kid, the smokers got to stay inside, letting us skaters get doses of second-hand smoke as we wheeled by.

Roll Arena: 1
When I was a kid, this was THE place to roller skate. I can still remember the smell of dust and feet, the sounds of wheels rolling over the wooden floor, the way I’d get a blister on my right foot from never varying the counter-clockwise circle.

The only light there was
This back of this closed-down gas station in the industrial part of town absorbed all the light that day.
On a side note, there’s a lot more traffic in that part of town than I expected. And, judging from the stares I got from truck drivers, not many photographers show up over there. I don’t know why: it’s only a few blocks from where I found this place a few months ago.
