Monday Morning Coffee: Tony's

Many folks are programmed for a surface viewing rather than a more in depth examination.

Much of what is shown on the blog, is a step back and survey of an entire landscape.  Hidden within the image are clues - dates, used or unused objects, open or closed structures.  etc - of what am attempting to convey.

 

    Fountain City, Indiana.

Most viewers don’t stray from the overall scene. What they view is a overall street view - probably empty of life - or a building - probably old, closed and bordered  - or a storefront - probably empty and unused - and move on to something else.  The clues are there, but are often overlooked in a hasty quick look see.

TGIF: Exceeded Expectations II

Few more Pentax K3 results from the Sunday driveabout.

An U-Haul Center outtake from the East end of the strip mall. 

   Richmond, Indiana.

In a U.S. Route 40 strip mall on the near Richmond West side, Reid Health has converted a closed grocery location into a Health Care Center.

   Richmond, Indiana.

PACE, program of all-inclusive care of the elderly, was developed as a health center to help aging adults live more independently.

Finally, a quick stop in town for a bit of city architecture. 

    Richmond, Indiana.
 
Groundbreaking for the Richmond Municipal Building was on January 19, 1968 and construction was completed on February 8, 1969.  The cost for the building was two million dollars.

The City Building houses the office of the Mayor and City Clerk on the second floor, the police station on the first floor and the City Council Chambers on the third floor. 

These new choices, the Pentax K3 and Pentax K3 III monochrome bodies along with matching lenses, have turned out to be welcomed additions to the photography kits. 

Now all that's needed is for the return of warmer and sunny Spring.
