Always Onward

Parts of downtown Oklahoma City have things like convention centers and sports arenas and big hotels. Other parts have parking lots with chain-link fences around them. And sometimes, the streetcar will stop long enough for passengers to get a quick photo of all the things.

leaves, like time, flow by

Some skinny fall leaves in a canal and a long-ish exposure, from a boat: this is what that looks like to a camera. If you were wondering.

Field House

If there’s an interesting-looking old building that doesn’t seem to have anything going on or anyone around to ask me to leave, there is a *chance* I will try to photograph the interior. And the inside of this field house rewarded me richly – all those building materials, a stage, lens flares, and dust motes. And – this is the best part – a handy fire extinguisher.

My careful reader(s) may remember that I posted a photo of this place, the Glancy Motel, back in November. In that post I mentioned that a $7.75 million renovation of the place was scheduled. I spent a little more time looking around on a more recent return visit and I am quite positive that the $7.75 figure falls into the category of “a very low estimate.”

But, if you are looking for a busted parking-lot-based toilet, I can give you directions to this one…
