An open mouth
That shadow makes me think of a big, open mouth. That’s just me, isn’t it?

That wall
That wall.
It has a lot of things to like. The graffiti-control efforts that are just about intrusive as the graffiti was. The OUT left over from some kind of warning. The angle of demolition. The stripes from the poles and wires. I really liked that wall.
(See that black container? Those are the municipal garbage bins. They are round, and not very heavy. And also, the wind flings them all over the place. Just in case you wondered.)

X
Well, actually there are three of them. But I thought “XXX” was probably not the very best idea for a title…

Fat’s (across the tracks)
Later in the day, I took a lot more shots of Fat’s (don’t worry – some of them will start showing up on the blog*), but this was the first one, taken from the other side of the tracks. (I don’t know which side would have been considered the “wrong” side; I kind of liked both sides.)
A couple of things about Fat’s – one is that name. It’s hard to imagine that a restaurant with the word “fat” in the name would be successful. And the other thing is that it did not appear to be still in business, a fact hinted at by that telephone pole’s shadow across the front door, sort of X-ing it out.

Ridges: morning sun
If you like corrugated metal (Ehpem – this means you), you’d love this warehouse beside the train tracks. The shadows from the early sun added a lot of definition to that wall, which is surprisingly wavy and which makes me wonder what in the world is going on inside that place.
I also like the shadow from the arched roof, and the broken down trash bin.
It was a lovely place, and worth getting up for.
