There is this huge retaining wall on the back-end of the parking lot of the closed shopping center I mentioned previously (365-164). It’s always leaking and seemed to be cracked from day one. Another thing done horribly wrong at the site. I always meant to get a photo of the cool patterns from the leaks but never ventured near the wall…

365-172 The flower won out
It was getting late and I still didn’t have a photo I was happy with. I had taken some photos in the broken window of a house from the 1700’s that I shot earlier in the year (365-72). The interior itself was nothing exciting so I was kind of disappointed. It wasn’t until I got closer to home and was…
365-169 Easy things in black and white
I was driving on a downtown road today that I regularly travel, kind of thinking of a photo subject for the day. As I was approaching a stoplight I glanced over to an old auto repair garage and saw these lightbulbs in the window next to the sidewalk. I thought they made a nice group and contrasted well with the…
365-168 Reflections
Visited my old standby, the cemetery, today to see if there was any action at the duck pond. There were no ducks to speak of but quite a few big geese waddling around everywhere. Enough geese where I had to watch where I was walking 😉 . I decided to explore around the pond anyhow and look for some other subjects.…
365-167 Here or there or anywhere?
Like usual, I didn’t plan any kind of picture today. Occasionally there are days when I go to a specific location that I think would be a good place for photos but most days I just see what happens. A lot of times when I do have a predetermined photo in mind I end up with my favorite shot being totally…
365-166 Spotting trains again
After realizing that I have shot photos in about every place in town since starting my 365, I thought I would revisit some sites that I felt still had some shots left. Since I think I milked the cemetery for all that is was worth, I tried some old boxcars that I shot before. I remembered some details and abstracts…
365-165 A new place and some processing fun
I discovered a nice park and lake not too far from my home. It’s kind of hidden behind some affluent suburban neighborhoods. It’s a decent size lake surrounded by wooded areas with nice paths. A lot nicer than my city park. I’ll have to go back and visit soon. The woods are really nice with mature trees and lots of…
365-164 Plastic coated weirdness
I noticed this dummy on a sign for a closed shopping center today. I drive past that way quite a lot and never noticed it before so someone placed it there recently. The dummy had a sign of some sort but it was folded over and I couldn’t see what it said. I like to think it’s a type of…
365-163 Stumbling along
Not much to add today. I was in Pittsburgh and intended to stop at the arts festival but didn’t quite get there. I drove around a few different areas that I don’t normally explore and discovered some type of church festival going on. It wasn’t too exciting and most of the pictures I took are rather ordinary snapshotty photos. I…
365-162 A little window shopping
There is a town near where I live that has a number of small antique shops. They are fun to browse through once in a while since they not only have actual antiques, they also sell what I would classify as memorabilia. Those kitschy relics from the 50’s and 60’s. Neat junk basically. The stores were all closed when I drove by today…
