Silent Hill, Roanoke.

Nothing to see here.  Just the Wells Fargo Tower in Roanoke, Virginia rising into a goddam otherworldly mist.

No photo filters.

The Green New Deal?

Construction continues at the site of the old bus station in downtown Roanoke, Virginia.  This shot was taken Wednesday.

Blaine the Mono arrives alongside The Tower.

Only Stephen King fans will get that joke.

(This is actually an Amtrak, I believe, arriving alongside The Wells Fargo Tower in Roanoke, VA.)



I finally got the dam picture!!

This is … a beaver dam?  I think?  I spotted it in the Roanoke River the other night … there were furballs of some kind down there, and I saw an enormous heron swoop down to join them. I shot video, but it was too dark to share.

Is it a beaver dam?  Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong.  I won’t be embarrassed.  You know I am a native New Yorker, and have no acumen for Virginia fauna.  Maybe it’s a muskrat maze or ferret fortress or a nutria superstructure.  You tell me.

the outside-the-dressing-room haiku:

How fortunate are
those garments, wrapped, as they are,
on your curvature.
