Concrete and Metal

No curves allowed.

It's just metal and concrete.

A utilitarian installation

hidden in the corner

of a much grander edifice

(the Anaheim Convention Center);

but the counterplay

of repeating straight lines,

light and shadow,

in neutral shades of gray,

is appealing.

It draws you in;

makes you want to explore.

Colorful Georgetown Townhouses

This cheerful little row of townhouses in Georgetown (DC)

might surprise the original residents.

Ya think?

These structures are probably at least 150 years old.

Who could have expected a Japanese Restaurant?

The one in the middle is the most eye-catching, though.

Painted with at least four colors;

and I cannot make out the name of the business;

and,

what's up with the STOP sign?

One wonders.

Bucks at the Buffet

Local bucks line up

to take advantage of

the all-you-can-eat buffet

generously provided by nature.

All natural,

100% organic.
