Alleyway Scene

I was walking through some of the downtown alleyways in Anson, TX and came across this scene.

I think this is an abandoned building, but I like the painting of the vase in between the doorways.

Upward Staircadse

This staircase is in an alleyway going up to the 2nd floor.  The building seems abandoned, and there's one broken pane of glass in the window.  This image was made on a cloudy July day and the temps were pretty moderate.

7 UP sign

This graphic for 7 UP is on the side of an abandoned building in a central Texas town.

Staircase Windows

In another alley in downtown there's a staircase that has these small glazed windows along the wall.  I noticed the broken pane which I had not seen before.  Wonder how it got broken???

Mushroom Graffiti

In a different location than the eye graffiti, there's this mushroom graffiti.  The artwork I gorgeous, I couldn't resist taking a photo of it.

Eye Graffiti

In one of the alleys in downtown Abilene there's a blank yellow wooden wall and today I noticed that there's two beautiful graffiti designs on it.  Both are signed, but I can't read the writing.

Abandoned Tool Shed

I drove through one of the alleyways in downtown Abilene today and saw this abandoned tool shed in the back yard of a house which was not in very good shape itself.

Wings on a Wall

While walking through downtown the other day, I wandered through an alleyway and came across this artwork.  The wings are a little high up so I'm not sure if they're intended for people to pose in front of them, or if they're just art for art's sake.

Black/White Fire Escape

I was walking around downtown the other day and I saw this fire escape.  Thought it was interesting so I turned it into black and white.  

I'm sure fire escapes have save many lives, but hopefully they don't get used much.

Weather was beautiful again.  I hope it lasts a long time.  The heat of the summer is just too much and it's great walking around with these temperate temps.

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.

Clean alleyway

While walking around downtown today to find a photo op, I passed through this amazingly clean alleyway and decided to grab a photo of it.  

There's often graffiti on the walls, but seldom is there trash on the ground.

Alleyway Artwork

I was walking around downtown Abilene this afternoon waiting for my meeting to begin.  There's an alleyway that's been recently painted with beautifully colored graphic designs.  

I made a few images, so I post this one today.

100% Pure Love

Another alleyway scene.  Sweet graffiti on a red brick wall with one window showing.

Something That Makes Me Smile

I decided to use a photo prompt list.  One of the prompts is 'Something That Makes Me Smile".  I went to town and found this graffiti in an alleyway that I don't usually go into.  

It's so cute and it really did and does make me smile.

Alleyway Fire Escape

I'm not sure what this building is but the fire escape is an easy one for egress in the alleyway.  Usually there isn't any trash in the alleys in Abilene, but there's a little in this one under the steps.  It will probably be cleaned in the near future.

Guarded Alleyway

There are a couple of alleyways in Abilene that are fenced at each end.  I don't know why~~possibly because they're in between two businesses and the back areas need to be protected???

I'm grateful that:

a friend was able to help me move some of my belongings into my new living space

D & W 4

Seen in an alleyway in downtown Abilene, Texas.  The overhead door looks to be in good condition, so maybe it's still used for something.  D & W refers to the railroad that goes right through town.

My heart is grateful that:

I found a few photo ops downtown today
