It reminds me of a day, back in the 1970s, when I spent a couple hours in Winslow, AZ.

It's on a busy street but I'd never noticed it before - an old foundry built in the '20s, hasn't been used in years. The property is for sale and I suppose it will be torn down.

I feel like it's on some side street that I haven't yet discovered in my small Connecticut city.

I don't want to horn in on your thread, so I won't post the full image. But here's a drawing of a similar scene about a quarter mile from our house.

I've become oddly fond of drawing telephone poles, too.

I'm retiring in April. I can't wait to spend the summer drawing and painting.
