Odd Photos - North Adams

Almost all of the photos in the galleries can be enlarged by clicking them.

I call these "Odd Photos," because that's what they are - odd. The shot of the church through the library entrance was a spur of the moment thing. I was sitting on the Mass MoCA sound installation speaker when I noticed the dark, ominous scene through the underpass. I walked into the alley and immediately noticed the weird combination of shapes and faded colors. The "No Pepper" sign is such a familiar thing in ball parks. I wonder if anyone has ever taken a similar picture. The two signs in the window of the vacant Joe's Place seem like some sort of cruel joke.
