to all gates
In the daylight, I probably wouldn’t have given this place a second look. At night, though…

the obligatory boat (Maine)
I gave myself away as being not from there because I did take a lot of photos like this. In my defense, I do see a lot more boats sitting on dry and dusty ground than I see boats in actual water. I was there (from the looks of things) to capture the novelty of it.

holding it together
Sometimes you do need half a turnbuckle, a bolt with an old square nut, and some wire to feel secure.

faded (old) glory
Just because buildings are vacant/abandoned doesn’t mean there’s nothing to see.
This little vignette’s got metal siding where a big plate glass window used to be with a smaller window stuck in. And – and! – a very tattered and faded American flag.
The other side of the shot has a sign whose awkward wording led me to read it as “home drop off please no furniture” which naturally made me wonder why they wanted people to just drop off vacant homes. Ah, language: so amusing. Ha, my thought process: probably not so amusing.

an accidental diptych
I meant for this to be just an image of that statue, who looked like she was holding that light over her head (and, also, possibly, holding up the entire ceiling).
But, as the Photography Gods sometimes dictate, that actual thing that needed to be photographed was the way reflection of the other side of the street turned this into a diptych. As a bonus, the way the warm and cool lights play off each other is fun to look at.
