Two Windows (Kidnap K.F.A.)

.
Same part of town as the last few days. You can't see it in this resolution, but the second and third louvers of the vent in the bottom window have the phrase KIDNAP K.F.A. written on them with a marker. How urban can you get?

WHAT WENT REALLY WELL: I spent Sunday afternoon at a good local gallery, Soulard Art Market. The current show was in teardown. As the artists came by to get their exhibits. I asked them if i could photograph them with their work. Everybody said yes. Got some good stuff, which will appear here in coming days.

TOMORROW: Forgiveness.

Under the Viaduct in HDR

.
There are old commercial areas north and south of the park the Arch sits in. Few people are around on weekends but I'm often there. It's quiet and uncrowded and there are interesting things to see. This is the empty street under I 55 just before it runs up onto the bridge to Illinois (the one in Friday's post). It's dim and shadowy. The features are not distinct. HDR turns it into an glowing arcade.

WHAT SATISFIED MY OPERA LUST LAST NIGHT: our smaller local company, Union Avenue Opera, is doing Carmen. She's so baaad, she's fabulous. And that Don Jose - what a sap! Si je t'aime, prend garde a toi!

TOMORROW: who said this town is a provincial backwater?
