Market

120114

The side of Pike Place Market that faces toward the Sound it the best side. If you ask me. It’s got all those great windows, some of which reflect the mountains. And they’re operable, something that you never seen on commercial buildings in my part of the world. And the glimpses through them offer up more mysteries than anything else.

And, way down in the corner, that finger points the way.

I think we’re going to have to go with Wikipedia on this one, don’t you?

Cat at school

Remember the other day, when I mentioned a farmer using the old school grounds to store fertilizer tanks?

Different place, same thing – only this time someone’s using the playground as a parking lot for their Caterpillar. (I was going to say “Caterpillar bulldozer” but then I thought it might not actually be a bulldozer; I hate to be distributing incorrect information here on the blog, so I decided to leave that word out. If any of my loyal reader(s) know what this equipment is, please let me know. We here at One Day | One Image try hard to be as informative as possible.*)

*Sometimes

No context

A brick wall. A rolled-up snow fence. A boarded-up door. I like how they look together, but without the context of the whole building, or even the town itself, it’s hard to know what it all means…

It’s hard to get into Home Ec

112714

Well, I guess what I meant is that it’s hard to get into the home ec room, with those knife-blades of broken glass guarding the windows. But even with that security feature, I have the idea that perhaps a few folks have made it inside.
