This is part of the process of retracing steps and even examining new things in new ways. For one thing, I used a camera with enough megapixels to make zoom cropping feasible. Even better, it had an optical zoom, so cropping after the optical zoom really brought things in up close. First stop was a place that used to be a nightclub, then it was abandoned for a long time and then a church used it, and now it is abandoned again. When I first started the wildflower garden I was so desperate to get things to grow I drove out here with my wife to find the heartiest wildflowers I could find-- stuff growing in asphalt and cracks in concrete and piles of pebbles. We found some hardy stuff and I dug it up and planted it in good garden soil. Everything died in less than 24 hours. My wife was amused. She might have been pleased, too, because I'd probably dug up and re-planted weeds. Later, I got other things to grow. I do NOT have a green thumb.
It was cloudy and there had been some rain the night before. What a miracle.
See the details? I like details.
We are out in the boonies.
This is the east side of the building.
Hardy weeds. If I transplanted them into good soil they would be toast. Go figure.
All kinds of things had been dumped out there. Next, we examine the intersection of 98th and MLK.
