Beautiful Filth

Sometimes when I'm walking around I notice the dirt and the grime, the cracks and stains, the rust and the just plain odd. And, I think it all has it's own unique charm. Here are some examples of Covington's charm, up close and personal. This is not meant to showcase anything bad, just a different way of thinking about it. This is a more abstract post, so think outside the box.

 P.S. If you think you have a guess about what or where something is (or have no idea and would like to know), leave a comment! (Hint: I was in the Seminary Square/Westside neighborhoods for most, and a few are from around my house.)

Spring in Winter

















Just some pictures that I've collected over this so called "winter" so far. Sorry about the lack of posts, I've just been preoccupied with other things.
