Title about says it all, I think….

Circle Square

If you go to Roswell (and you really should consider a trip!), and you have your camera with you, I’d recommend that you head over to Railroad Avenue. You’ll see what I mean when you get there. But in case you can’t make it right away, you can look at this shot and dream of faraway places where circle and squares meet…

A question of width

I won’t lie: I wanted this shot because of “battery’s.”  

But now, the thing that interests me the most is the way that garage door seems to be wider than the building. How is that even possible?

The shadows reveal all

The low morning sun lit the wall of this metal building, revealing all the irregularities in the panels. At midday it would have had a completely different look to it.

The icehouse door

062314

The bricks on this wall were going in every direction and I am pretty sure that the wall above the left-hand window is about to fall over.

The door to the icehouse was very interesting – it still had pieces of the old cork insulation stuck on it and the wood was nicely weathered.

Out in front, a sign said the place was open 8-5 Monday through Saturday. The condition of the place and a few other clues lead me to believe perhaps the sign is in error. But that’s OK – neither Donna Catterick, my companion on this adventure, or I would have liked stopping to take pictures if there’d been other people around. That’s how we are.
