Warning, this will be a long post. Several posts ago, I journaled about my camerless photowalk. Even though today was gloomy, with heavy clouds lingering still from last night’s rain, it was the only day of my son’s 4 days off that he didn’t have something he had to go to. So he grabbed a friend, we packed a lunch, I grabbed cash and we headed downtown. I really didn’t have to boost up many of the pictures from the not so sunniness. I was pleasantly surprised.
I meant to also do the 10 step idea all the way down the street, but I forgot. I am pretty sure I still did it without counting though.
This store front was all covered with plastic, but it looked like it was being renovated. I hope they leave the old painted sign.

I couldn’t resist this painted fence or this parking meter. Too fun.![]()

My theory is that someone got on top of the building and poured the paint down. Intentionally we will never know.
Also part of the warehouse district. The white building is a linen cleaning company.
We hopped back in the car again and headed back up towards UNM. I wanted to show them the crazy store fronts and this antique scooter store. I got these photos just for Kat (Sloma).




A wonderful collection. Love that painted fence.

Thank you. Ooh, maybe I should have saved the red doors (from a church) for my Hues of Fall post.

Gorgeous photo walk! Makes me want to go downtown to give it a try. My favorites are the red doors and the textured mopeds.

Thank you Deb. I saw so much more through the lens than I did without the camera on my slow drive through town. It was fun.

I love your determination and enthusiasm! Very smart to bring along a friend for Mr. B. 😉 The painted fence is fun…Your composition of the red door with that green ivy really pops…doors are a favorite of mine. The building with the paint running down the side is also fun and does make me wonder if it was planned or if someone with a creative eye just needed a canvas. I find it interesting that you broke the solid structure of your photos up with such interesting, colorful and fun pictures. Love your eye!

Thank you Cheryl. Really I had no intention of taking a friend with Mr B but it worked out. They rode on scooters so there was no complaining =). I love doors too…I think I Pin It more doors than anything else on Pinterest.
