which way the wind will blow

The weather was changing: winter was on the way.

But it was 70 degrees when I made the photo of a golden weathervane and an abandoned hospital.

a long nap

On the other side of the creepy building from yesterday’s post, I encountered a raccoon taking a nap. Sort of a permanent one, if you know what I mean.

exam/room

If you’re tall, or can stretch your camera over your head for a photo, you can see inside what I believe to be an exam room of some sort.

The building itself doesn’t have any signage to help me understand what I was seeing and my efforts to sleuth out some details led me nowhere. So, for now, all I know is the place was abandoned and it had a creepy vibe even before I made this picture.

picnic/table

I don’t know: it just struck me as a photo-in-waiting. You know, the ways things do sometimes.

the darkness got there first: 5

Sometimes I run out of artistic energy. Like right now. It really took just about all I had to edit and post this shot.

And now, I think I’ll take a nap.
