One of the doorways of the building that houses City Hall in Port Townsend, WA.
(not one of the normal public entrances)
Door: City Hall
Back Doors
These images are from a recent photo trip to Olympia. We walked around the various alleys and loading areas. There were a mix of levels of graffiti. The downtown area was very much run down and semi-deserted, due to the lack of workers in downtown buildings. The result has been the closure of many retail spaces that made a significant percent of their business from the lunch crowd.
This was a bit of a puzzle. But I expect that someone left the steel door retracted and the tagging took place.
My guess on this area is that the owners/tenets make an effort to keep the area freshly painted each time additional tagging takes place. That is one approach. The other is to hire murals painted. This approach works most of the time, and some of the future blog posts show some of the murals of downtown Olympia.
Victoria Scenes
One of the things that I miss with the virus having closed the Canadian border is the ability to visit Victoria, BC. The trip is just a ferry ride … and the cost is cheap if you walk onboard … and the ferry terminal is in the main harbor in Victoria.
The old areas of town are a great location for photo shoots. Plenty of interesting visuals. I loved this claustrophobically narrow alley and one of the doorways that opens off it.
Old Rusty Door
Shadow Door
I thought the shadow of this tree across the door creating an interesting effect. Whenever you notice something that makes you go “huh”, it’s almost always worth a photo.
