White on white, 16

Here’s the 16th installment in my intermittent White on White series; this one’s from a hotel room.

You can see the rest of them here.

No body parts

It’s nice to know that sometimes people do follow the rules: I did not see any body parts at all in this shrine.

Traffic calming (with balloons)

There’s a flag pole right there in the intersection of Myoma and Douglas Streets, like some sort of skinny traffic calming measure. (I didn’t see any other cars when I was there, but I did feel pretty calm, so maybe it works on people if there’s not un-calm traffic in the vicinity. Who knows. Traffic engineering is a complicated proposition.)

There were also two balloons, sagging with age, tied to the pole.

It was reasonably awesome

For various reasons, I’ve not been out shooting too much recently, which has forced me back to the archives to see if I missed anything interesting the first time through.

Maybe you saw my earlier photos from St. Paul, Nebraska, here or here or here.

But did you know that Nebraska itself is, in fact, AHSOME. Neither did I, until very recently. But license plates do not lie, or exaggerate.

A wrench in the works

The same broken down, rusted truck had been parked outside this place for at least four years, so I figured if I went in to look around, there’d be no one else there.

And I was right. I was the only one there, and I found the usual assortment of odd, abandoned things. Like a two-legged chair. And a giant wrench.

All in all, it was worth the stop.
