As many times I have been downtown, it never ceases to amaze me to find something different.
We split up into groups, grab our cameras, and head out. With no destination in mind, we set off to follow wherever our feet will take us. Along the journey, I am constantly snapping photos, capturing any little thing that catches my interest. Not too far from the campus, my group suddenly slows down; they have stumbled across a dead crow. We are not too sure how or why he ended up on the sidewalk, but there he is - reposed and complete with a platoon of ants marching away with his remains. Carrying on, we come to a crossroads,"...rock, paper, scissors, shoot!" Straight ahead it is, and onward we trek.
Amongst the various pieces of trash and metal structures with character, there are moments where the landscape opens up and indulges us with an interesting vista. Storm drains, alleyways, and abandoned buildings are all unanimously surveyed with our cameras. We also linger on instances of graffiti, odd street signs, and moments of flora overtaking man-made objects.
After traversing several blocks, the fates (and our stomachs) decide that it is time for lunch. With a fresh round of Bill Miller's on our plates, we relax in the reverie of our journey.
(more pice here!)
