The things up there, #2

Looking up, again. Now there are those two light fixtures, hovering above an abandoned business and its vacant parking lot.

The things up there, #1

When I remember to look up, there’s a reward. There’s a twisted metal sign with an electrical wire hanging from it. There’s a water-stained wood roof that’s also got a wad of wires hanging over the edge. There’s clouds that look like cotton that’s been pulled apart.

I’ve got to remember to look up.

That’s quite a bit of red

If you peek in the window of this now-defunct restaurant, this is what you will see. There’s quite a bit of red trim, and a chair. A chair! And, note that this particular chair is not just sitting around; rather, it is hard at work making sure that door stays open.

A wavy line

Just yesterday, I said the photo had “just about everything.”

But it actually didn’t. It did not have a single wavy line.

Today I am fixing my error, featuring this wavy-roofed place that is just across the street from yesterday’s photo. At least “everything” is close together….

Just about everything

Do your prefer lines in corrugated metal to run horizontally? Got it.
Or, maybe you prefer a vertical alignment? Got that, too.
Do you like metal ducts that shine in the sun? Yep.
Or bricks with random patterns of light and dark? That’s here, too.
Downspouts? Yes.
Guy wires? Certainly.
Four black windows, way up on the wall? Indeed.

This place has just about everything you’re looking for.
