"The glacier knocks in the cupboard, The desert sighs in the bed, And the crack in the teacup opens A lane to the land of the dead."

The View From The Garden Ground


While normally I don't like to do too much photo editing, I couldn't resist that lovely shade of blue. ;)


Spookiness Is Afoot Downtown









Late last night, while taking a walk with the family in this nice cooler weather, I snapped these pics outside the newspaper building . They did not come out as anticipated - to say the least!


One may wonder why take pictures of the newpaper building in the first place. It's not exactly a wonder of great beauty and architechture. Simple answer - the area gives me the creeps. And I haven't called my project "Victoria Phantasmagoria" for nothing. Still, I was unnerved to see what look like playful little shades lurking around the perimeter of the fence on the last pic. Sure, lots of mistakes must have gone into creating this image, but...none of the other photos I took even a few feet away look like this.


It's kind of appropriate that not far from that spot is a bit of graffitti on the sidewalk that says "not here".



(I posted the third photo to my Tumblr last night but wanted to place all three together here)
