A Favorite Hide Away

This is my favorite single room in the city - formerly a bank lobby built in the early 1900s (it still has the old teller windows and signs for the vaults), it's currently empty. I can't fathom why it isn't being used for anything, nor why it's nearly always empty and alone when I visit it. But that's honestly part of its appeal. Faded beautiful, silent and echoey, dim-lighted and private, just waiting for a new function. Although part of me hopes that it stays this way forever, a museum piece, visited a few times a day by people who wander onto the wrong floor of the busy building it inhabits.

Forever in Bloom

This is my last post until next week, so I'm gonna leave you with some beauty. This is a metal sculpture outside of one of my favorite contemporary remodeled homes which I pass on the St. Anthony's run. It's January, it's freezing outside, but these flowers will bloom forever.
