White Chalk on Black Door

While walking around downtown this morning I noticed this black door with a white chalk design and thought it was interesting.  The building is yellow brick.

Downtown Apartment

While walking around downtown today I passed this building that's been made into apartments with balconies.  I loved the way the chairs are sitting there with the red door.
I decided to grab a shot of it.  
Someday I'd love to get into one of the apartments to see how they're laid out.

Random Book

While walking around downtown today I saw this book just sitting in this spot.  The building isn't a library, so I think someone just wanted to get rid of the book and didn't know what else to do with it.
I thought about taking it, but I have a lot of other books to read.
I'll have to check this one out to see if it might be a good one for my bookgroup.

ATT Building

There's a building in downtown Abilene that has this ATT sign on it.  I've never been in the building so I don't really know if it's an actual ATT building but I finally decided to make an image of it today.

Clock Tower on Campus

This clock tower is located on one of the college campuses in Abilene, Texas.  The sky is blue, and the bricks are a variation ion red and tan.  This tower is one of the main sights to see on the campus.

Ravens on the Wall

This building, in Fairbanks, Alaska, is decorated with ravens resting n pipes along the outside wall of the structure.  It was winter so there are snow clumps on the pipes.
Many of the structures in Fairbanks are decorated.

Old Homestead

This old, abandoned home is on the outskirts of Colorado City, Texas  There are two TV dishes in the yard.  The structure is pretty much destroyed.

Abandoned Building in Colorado City

This building is abandoned, but it has a 7-up logo painted on the side with the name of the town
prominently displayed.

Old Train Station

This is the front of the old train station in Cisco, TX.  It's been abandoned for as long as I've been here and for many years before that probably.  
It's a long building that has overhead doors to load large items into the train.

Hotel/Motel Pool

In the back of the hotel in Eastland, Texas, there's a pool with some lounge chairs and some decking for the customers renting the rooms.  To the right of the pool is a deck area with some tables and easy chairs.

Snake Plant

Inside the coffee shop in Eastland, Texas, there are plants and other pieces of decor for the enjoyment of the customers.  I just love the was this plant looks against the red brick wall inside the shop.

Photos on Bathroom wall

The coffee shop in Eastland has some really awesome wall decor.  These photos are clustered on one of the walls in the ladies bathroom.  
I love the different frames and it's always fun to look at retro photos.

Coffee Shop Lounge

Took a drive to Eastland, TX where there's an adorable coffee shop that we've been to before.  
To the left of the image, out of sight, are a couple of tables which is where we were sitting enjoying the coffee drinks we ordered.  
Out the back door there's a pool and some sitting areas and above the coffee shop is a motel/hotel for guests.  The structure is down a side street and is a very pleasant area of the town.

Motorcycles

Across the small road from the abandoned high school in Olden, Texas, there were these 5 motorcycles parked along the road.  They were in various stages of repair.  Maybe they were there for sale.

Abandoned Olden School

In the town of Olden, Texas, there's an abandoned school building that used to be the senior high school.  Some of the window panes are missing and the doors are locked so no one can enter, sadly.

228/365
Abandoned Olden School

This abandoned school building was the high school in Olden, Texas.  Many of the windows are missing, not because they've been broken, but because the glue holding the glass in has deteriorated and the panes have fallen out.  
There was no way to enter the building which was disappointing.

227/365
Stuffed Moose

My friend and I traveled to a very small town called Olden.  There was an abandoned school building there and in one of the lower level windows this little stuffed moose was staring out at us.

This is the doorway to the upstairs of a building that contains businesses and photo studios.
