Leaving may be the best option
I don’t know. It seemed like an OK place to me. It’s not like I spent a bunch of time there chatting up the residents or anything – I was mostly just taking pictures. It seems like the highway signs are pretty anxious for travelers to just keep moving along, though.
Maybe I was lucky to escape.

Perforations
Did you notice how I’d drifted away and posted some color photos? That was weird, wasn’t it?
Not get to all personal and stuff (because this isn’t that kind of blog), but things have been just the tiniest bit stressful of late*. And, in the midst of the stress, the photos that I was working on for the blog insisted on being in color. That might be a coincidence. Or, it might not. I really don’t know.
At any rate, for whatever the reason, maybe I’ve gotten that out of my system.
I saw these tanks on my fantastic photography weekend in Roswell, and liked how the shadow of the perforations on the walkway went from being in focus to out of focus as the tank curved away.

Patchwork built
It was hard to know if this pattern was the result of someone testing out new color schemes or some graffiti-censoring. (Given the state of the building, I’d guess the latter is more likely.) But either way, I liked how it looked.

Urban forest (sort of)
If a “forest” can be defined as “a group of five or more trees within a metropolitan area” then I guess this might qualify. Even though it’s really just some elm trees that came up on their own – the way elms do – and no one did anything about it. And now, they’re big enough and close enough to the building that there’s probably some foundation damage. But I don’t think anyone cares about that, either.

Turns a blind eye
Whatever it was that used to be lit at night now stands in darkness, as the light fixture turns a blind eye…
