The icehouse door

062314

The bricks on this wall were going in every direction and I am pretty sure that the wall above the left-hand window is about to fall over.

The door to the icehouse was very interesting – it still had pieces of the old cork insulation stuck on it and the wood was nicely weathered.

Out in front, a sign said the place was open 8-5 Monday through Saturday. The condition of the place and a few other clues lead me to believe perhaps the sign is in error. But that’s OK – neither Donna Catterick, my companion on this adventure, or I would have liked stopping to take pictures if there’d been other people around. That’s how we are.

Wiring diagram

Since a wiring diagram is actually a simplified conventional pictorial representation of an electrical circuit (according to Wikipedia, who ought to know), this is obviously not a wiring diagram. But that’s what I thought of when I saw the picture.

The sky’s the thing

We were looking for something. It wasn’t down this road: at the point where we ran out of pavement and huge puddles took over, it seemed like a good place to turn around. Which put me on the correct side of the car to see these clouds.

Eventual destruction

061914

There’s the kind of destruction that sweeps down from a cloud – a tornado or wind or hail or lightning. It’s here, then it’s gone.

And then there’s the kind that happens incrementally, so slowly that you don’t even notice it until it’s probably too late to do anything about it.
