<\/a>Bush Under The Red Desk<\/p><\/div>\n
The derelict building had red painted brickwork with green bushes growing in front. A stormy sky was present, offering some interesting possibilities. The broken windows also revealed some interesting details. All this made for some great HDR treatments. Here is one of the image that I made from several exposures.<\/p>\n

I continued to explore the neighborhood. Along Colfax I spotted several brightly painted buildings. Looking up, the yellow and orange walls contrasted nicely against the remains of the passing storm. This ladder was located some 20 feet above the ground, reaching up into the sky.<\/p>\n

Looking south, the clearing storm was revealing blue skies hiding behind the clouds as the setting sun highlighted the colorful wall.<\/p>\n

I made my way around to the rear of the building, where this elevated deck complemented the colorful walls and door.<\/p>\n

The adjacent building was painted a lime green hue. The stairs leading up the the back door was painted a contrasting purple-magenta.<\/p>\n

Making my way round to Colfax, the setting sun was lighting up the turret at the corner of this historic building. This is now the site of Brooklyn’s restaurant.<\/p>\n

Heading back, I passed tall stacks of plastic — maybe they are concrete forms or barricade sections — that were stacked neatly under the Colfax flyover. The blue and white of the regular pattern made for an interesting picture.<\/p>\n

Nearby was an orange drain pipe that carries away water from the elevated flyover.<\/p>\n
