Through the Opening

Somewhere in downtown Abilene, there's a brick wall with tiny openings as a barricade for a courtyard.  There was no sign indicating what the business/courtyard was, but the design on the far wall was pretty interesting.  
I wonder if anyone ever uses the courtyard when the weather isn't so brutally hot?

Flower Graffiti

One of the businesses in downtown Abilene has their outside wall painted in these beautiful colors from the ground to the top of the building.  It's such an outstanding bright spot along the sidewalk.

Dancer on Brick Wall

I made an image of this dancer quite a while ago, but this time the words "never stop" were on one of the bricks.
Never stop dancing.

Reflection in Window Glass

One of the older buildings in downtown Abilene has a series of round windows instead of rectangular windows.  As I was looking for some photo ops today I noticed this reflection so I grabbed a shot of it.  The mural itself is really nice.  Too bad there was a vehicle there.

Downtown Building

I thought this was an interesting perspective on this building in downtown Abilene.  
Years ago I was in Europe and a lot of the older buildings had many of their windows boarded up.
The tour guide told us it was because, once upon a time, there was a tax on the number of windows a building had, so the owners boarded the windows to lower their tax bills.
I don't think that's the reason theses lower windows are boarded, but it's an interesting idea.

Road Construction

The city council in Abilene decided it was more important to revamp the Main Street than to maintain the roadways throughout town.  Hopefully this will be done soon.
