Shocking blue skies

This is an empty lot across the street from the downtown post office. There used to be a Trailways bus station on this corner, then for many years the station was abandoned and empty but there was a bustling Kinkos next door. I used to daydream about opening a cool nightclub/martini bar in the gigantic empty space next door to Kinkos.

A couple of years ago Kinkos relocated two blocks west, and the building was razed. Pity -- I'm sure it was 100 years old but it was in pretty sorry shape after all. I thought they were going to build something in its place but so far nothing has materialized. That's fine with me. I like the terra cotta brick wall that has been exposed on the next building over, the way the streetlight shadow falls upon it in the late afternoon, and the shocking blue sky that contrasts so well with it.
