municipal trident

I sure enjoy finding disused municipal buildings with the dashed dreams, the obsolescence, the broken windows, the non-operational signage, the random tridents….

table 3, with condiments

Did you notice how I posted a photo with the number 3 right there and it’s the third day of February?

And did you think, “Oh, my, look how terribly organized she is, posting a 3 on the 3rd!”?

Let me assure you that it was definitely not planned. Nope. Not one bit. I am sorry for the vast disappointment you must be feeling right now. Tomorrow’s photo wasn’t strategically planned either so now would be a good time to start managing those expectations.

a reflective day

At some point and for some reason this lumberyard storage area became a place for random cast-off stuff. I glanced at it as we drove by, but it took until we’d turned the corner for my mind to register that there was a big mirror on one of the discarded things.

I guess I was hoping for something more dramatic in the mirror, but I’d invested something like 32 seconds walking back to photograph it, so dammit: I’m posting it anyway.

the shop cats

I met these kitties the other day. They were very friendly and the only thing that kept me from spending the day hanging out with them was the fact that they were inside a building and it was locked. Otherwise it is likely that I would still be there….

similarities

I remember when I saw this a couple of years ago – I almost hyperventilated at the sight of two things that were so different, yet somehow almost the same.

I remember my traveling companions rolling their eyes at my breathless state.

I remember making the photo.

What I don’t remember is why I never got around to posting it until now…
