Unexpected Face #27

 

My water bottle was looking quite robotesque; looks like he was trying to tell me something.

Patterned Wall

 

This wall is designed with a groovy pattern!

I'm not sure what is the history of this building.

It is in a declining part of town.

The art is by Aaron De La Cruz, installed in 2018 (signature in the lower right)

So it must have been pretty new when I took these photos.

Grills in the Mist

 

It was a typical gray, damp, late autumn day in downtown Fresno...

These grills may have been congregating for warmth...

...but I do not think it was working.

They looked pretty cold and miserable to me.

Chair #24

 

There is a lot going on in this frame -

door, window, pickets, handrails, paving stones, planters, foliage...

various colors...

...and the lonely metal chair, which draws the eye...

invites you in...

Panther on the Loose

 

This is one of several feral cats who (used to) hang out near my workplace.

That look in his eye makes me think he may be sizing me up for dinner, but more likely he was waiting to see if I had food for him.

Autumn Leaves (...sounds familiar...)

 

Fresno is not exactly Vermont or the Blue Ridge Parkway, but we have autumn leaves!

The day I took these photos, the moon was still gracing the sky, too.

Thanks to the shape of the leaves, we have the sun, moon, and stars in the same frame.

I took these photos on 18 December 2018.

Here's a bonus!  Nat King Cole singing "Autumn Leaves."

Street Art #39: Mecca Billiards

Great artwork!

The colors are spot on, the distribution of the balls is excellent, the hand with the cue stick, the typography and size of the store name are perfect.

Photo below is the unfortunate next door neighbor.

I bet that old building has some stories to tell!
