Sleeping It Off Denver, Colorado 2012

A half dozen early birds and one who either got up so early he couldn’t sustain the advantage or stayed up too late the night before.]]>

Urban Topologies Denver, Colorado 2012

With all the buildings, freeways, concrete and asphalt in a city, it’s hard to get a feel for the actual shape of the land underneath, or to even remember there is an underlying natural topology under all the development. I was imagining that the rough surfaces of these traffic barriers were manifestations of the hidden local terrain exerting itself.]]>

Life in the City Denver, Colorado 2012

I like the way the stonework  mimics the skyline of a big city. I don’t know if that’s what the designer had in mind, but if it wasn’t it perhaps should have been.]]>

Always Read the Fine Print Missoula, Montana 2012

Feeling a bit ornery, I was thinking of rounding up some trash from a dumpster to see what I could get for it at the Circle Square when I happened to notice the fine print (possibly too small to read in this blog post size photo) under the word anything that said “of value.”]]>

Hell is Other People Missoula, Montana 2012

Plausible Deniability Missoula, Montana 2012

I for one don’t think the Round Butte Womens Club sign placement was accidental; but if accused of questionable or sexist judgment, the bar that owns this sign collection could make a pretty good argument for that explanation.]]>

Pac-Man Eats Missoula Missoula, Montana 2012

I’ve heard they breed in alleyways and by the time they’re noticed, it’s too late to do anything about it. (I suppose the younger crowd doesn’t even get the Pac-Man reference.)]]>

Five Window Chevy Missoula, Montana 2012

For years I’ve fantasized about owning an old classic pickup. I’m not sure why because I don’t really want one, but I’m quite attracted to them nonetheless. Most of the time the most desirable candidate to me is an early 50s Chevy like this one known as a five window Chevy (because of the addition of two small windows in the back corners of the cab). If not an early 50s Chevy, I’d go for the next iteration of Chevy style–the mid to late fifties Apache pickup (also sometimes sporting five windows).]]>
