Pictured after the first photo are the rears of buildings that face Rorer Avenue to the north.
That building you see in the distance in the last photo before the video is the Wells Fargo Tower.
Regarding the black-and-white shots here — Roanoke is actually a very cheery place, and a clean and well kept city. I just like draining the light and color from photos and then boosting their clarity through the roof.
Somebody posted a picture of himself saying he was in Dubai just now, and I told him that was a Dubaious claim, and now even I’m starting to wonder if I take these puns a bit too far.
I’ll be right back — I’m just going to the store Dubai milk.
The leaves are starting to turn.
I enhanced the color on the second picture — of the sky over The Patrick Henry building. I couldn’t resist bringing out the blue of that sky.

Pal of mine got me these bat Halloween decorations; they’re all over my house. Here’s the thing, though — they look so much like Batman’s bat symbol that I might leave them affixed at key locations in my home after the holiday, the better to confer superhero lair status. The second picture below is my bedroom door, for example.
I could go nuts. I could have a bat-lamp. A bat-coffeemaker. A bat-dishwasher. A bat-garbage can. Can’t afford the butler, though.

I saw this sign on Luck Avenue. If I leased a space from Poe & Cronk, I’d call them up, demand to speak directly to Poe, and complain about “THE BEATING OF THAT HIDEOUS HEART” under the floorboards.
I’d be joking, though. (It would be just a Cronk call.)
