Scenes from the industrial and railroad area south of the Arch. No shying away from the gritty, ironic side of the city. Read this as a diptych or any way you like.
One irony is that this is not a dangerous area, just post-industrial quiet. Not much going on, nothing valuable, no homeless, no drug dealers. I wonder how the taggers made those two-story tall letters without being noticed. The building is in plain view. The boxcar below was a short distance away. This little bit of America could use some rebuilding.

ReplyDeleteI wish there was something a bit gritty to find in Versailles...
ReplyDelete... 'jealous mistress' for sure and she'll always show up when she's least needed.
ReplyDeleteI like the gritty look and feel of these, Bob.
It ends up looking very stark!
