Since You’ve Asked
Maybe you recall that I mentioned before that sometimes random song lyrics latch themselves to photos, for no apparent reason?
It happened on this shot, when the line “leading up and outward” from the lovely Judy Collins song “Since You’ve Asked” came to mind.

X O
I liked the XO on top of Ehpem’s storm drain and sort of hope that the X is aligned with the cardinal directions. Perhaps Ehpem – who often serves as my Research Department – can enlighten me.

Used book
The sign and the window aren’t all that compatible, size-wise. But that’s OK – it makes a better photo this way.
Again, my thanks to Ehpem – what a great couple of days!

Upon reflection
When Ehpem and I were wandering around making photos, we turned down a brick alley. (We’d just been told it was haunted, so of course we had to go!).
There weren’t any ghosts, as far as we could tell, but there was a dramatic set of reflections in the windows above us.

PS: Want to know something sort of funny? Just yesterday, Ehpem posted a shot made within steps of this one, and wrote about looking up. Great minds think alike. And so do ours.
Getting some sun
I did see things other than storm drains and driftwood on my visit to Victoria, although you’d not know it from reading this blog. Ehpem, an excellent guide, took me to a part of town where we got to see some architecture, an excellent old car, graffiti, and a group of folks (and some flowers) taking in the afternoon sun.
(By the way, this shot was taken only a half-block from where Ehpem captured this scene, which I completely missed because I was looking at a poster on a utility pole.)
