I went to the museum the other day to look at the motorcycle exhibit.
Actually, that’s not correct. I went to the museum to photograph the motorcycle exhibit. My favorite thing was mirrors.
Also: the name of the exhibit mentioned “two-stroke street bikes” and I still do not know what that even means.

both sides of the street
This? Just a little scene I happened to notice that day we walked through Caltabellotta. I loved those narrow streets, with evidence of lives being lived at every turn. It was invigorating and interesting.
This particular scene caught my attention because the mirror reflected the other side of the street (which wasn’t all that far away) and showed how, even though I was standing in the shade, right behind me was full, intense, and direct sunlight. Plus I liked the mailbox and the streaks of paint on the walls. Plus, as you know, I fell in love with Sicily.

Mirrored
Me, arriving in unfamiliar small town: I hope there’s something abandoned around here.
Also me, because I was traveling by myself: I’ll just turn right here…WAIT A MINUTE. An old gas station??!
Later, and still me: Well, that was worth getting off the main highway!

Forest Mirror
The mirror was lurking, trying to fade into the forest, but it just didn’t work.

Hotel Room Study, #3
Oh come on, random mirror-installation person… the wallpaper had vertical lines that you could have used as a guide. But no, you had to go and do this.
