Still shooting in the post-industrial barrens north of the Arch. Central Waste Material Company is a dealer in scrap metal of all kinds. It seems hard to imagine, though, that urban homesteaders, now creeping into the area, would want to live by (in bold capitals, please) CENTRAL WASTE. But then you wouldn't want to associate yourself with peripheral waste, would you?
WHOSE BIRTHDAY IS TODAY? Ansel Adams (yay!). Patty Hearst. Kurt Cobain. Charles Barclay. Cindy Crawford. Me. So much for astrology.
TOMORROW: the Black Morte

Great shot again! That kind of building is an endangered species!

Agree... these buildings shot in black and white are striking!
ReplyDeleteHey, a great reason to celebrate this sunny February 20th in Seattle: a great guy was born on this date and he has a Cola brand named for his initials, too! :-)

The masonry is fascinating, especially what seems to be a false front including false windows. Is there really something behind them?
ReplyDeleteI hope somebody has the sense to preserve this building.
I've wandered those post-industrial barrens of St. Louis and it feels like some post-nuclear-holocaust planet. Naturally, I love it.
Happy Birthday, great photo of a beautiful building. Would you Know any history of the building?
ReplyDeleteVery dramatic photo, you processed it well!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday Bob, I hope you don't have a wasted day! LOL
Thanks for your kind visits to Avignon. You raised a valid point regarding the use of the word ticket in French.
Generally speaking I have found that we use the word ticket for an entry ticket that is very small in size (metro, cinema) and use the word billet for a larger piece of paper (un billet d'avion/ airplane ticket). Interesting, eh?
A striking picture in black and white for sure
ReplyDeleteLots of buildings like this have been made into apartments; I wouldn't think it a 'waste' to live here!
ReplyDeleteHey! Happy Birthday! It's also the birthday of two of my colleagues!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday a few days late! This photo is beautiful in B&W.
