A Tile Surpise

A small swatch of colored tiles in a littered lot is all that's left of buildings demolished on Henry Johnson Boulevard across from the public library.

The Bar Building

 

I've mentioned before that most modern architecture is not my cup of tea, but there is something elegant and impressive about the headquarters of the New York Bar tucked where Elm, Columbia, and Eagle Street meet.

The Root Ladder

The roots embedded in a hillside along the Washington Park Lake give the appearance of a rustic ladder.  I won't try to climb it, though, one dislocated knee is enough!

Iron Gate Rose

An exquisite pink rose outside the Iron Gate Cafe on Washington Avenue

The Chalk Girl

An exuberant bit of sidewalk art in Dana Park. 

Are You My Mummy?

No, not Egyptian mummies with yards of linen wrappings.  This window display at a Lark Street hair salon certainly brings to mind a Doctor Who episode called The Empty Child in which an eerie little boy wearing such a mask repeatedly asks that question.
