stormdogSince I'm sitting in the ops room at Windycon, I'm doing a little editing of the photos I took when I went with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jimcyl, daveqat, and others (whose names, I'm afraid, escape me).
I'm realizing too that, while I may be better off working with a graphics tablet when at home, it might just be a good idea to have a tablet PC to do photo editing while I'm mobile. I might just pick the cheapest of the tablets that I still have from work and hang onto it instead of selling it.
So; .
This telecommunications rack is in a second floor room on the periphery of the now-abandoned Gary post office. Makes me think that, since it was a municipal building, it must have been a telco distribution node too. Nifty!
The south face of one of the skylights on the top of the post office. The textures of the old wood captivated me.
The main sorting floor. The wooden flooring is so very beautiful here.
This is exemplary of the sort of scene that my forays into our abandoned places are made to find. Seeing nature reclaiming her land in this way has really changed my concept of civilization into something much more impermanent and even transitory.
And this, when I came upon it, took my breath away. As I noted in a recent prior post, I don't seem to quite have the requisite technical skill to capture scenes like this as they deserve, but I hope you'll let me share it with you as best I can.
I am highly amused by free lance grammar correctors who are inspired enough to apply their art to graffiti.
I'll leave you with another shot that isn't quite what I want it to be (I can't get the colors of the glass to pop the way I'd like to), but I'd like to share it with you anyway. This was shot in the remains of the cavernous Methodist church, and is typical of the sort of majestic architecture of the rest of the church and a large number of Gary's older public buildings and societal centers like churches and theatres. There is so very much unappreciated beauty here.
