Paint on a wall.  This is the brick wall next door to Whitlow's on Wilson--it kinda looks like a paint fountain frozen; or it kinda looks like a man who had white blood got speared by a spear with the tip of unicorn, and his blood horrifically and majestically spurted out of him.  Or something.

brick is red II

Actually, the mud is red, and the bricks are black.  I used to be a 'mud man' on constructions sites (read: the guy who got paid cash to lug bricks and mortar to the mason).  My back aches just looking at these heavy sons of guns.  Luckily, my wallet is slightly lighter, since I surely paid higher taxes for these fancy bricks on the Arlington streets.

brick is red.

Looking straight on at the face of a brick, as if you were in a riot of some sort and this was the last thing you saw before having an off-night at the local emergency room.   Enjoy the Pixies!

creepy grain of sand

This is the side of a white brick on a fancy fence, with a little red guy crawlin' along doing his thing.  Note that each little speck of white is the size of a coarse grain of sand.  Put another way, he's about the size of the "O" in "In God We Trust" on a U.S. penny.  I think this is a clover mite, but I'm often wrong about such things.


This is the brick and iron fence for the apartment complex on Washington Blvd across the street from the 7-11 (more accurately, across from Endo Sushi and that weird clock at Washington & 10th street).

say your prayers

Fallout shelter sign on the side of a church (not that either would probably help much in a nuclear event).  I got to wondering about these signs and found a few interesting sites.  Turns out, this sign is out of code!  "In awarding the contract for design of the sign ... the services of a psychologist be obtained to recommend a visual symbol that could be easily identified and remembered. The sign had to meet the psychological requirements of simplicity, easy identification, retention and arresting color combination .... The color combination, yellow and black, is considered as the most easily identified attention getter by psychologists in the graphic arts industry."

dark post

Seeing as how I've likely passed on (see yesterday's post) today's picture is literally and metaphorically titled.
