Hot Spots
The left is a bar/lounge, the right is an abandoned gas station. I wasn't sure if each image was better by itself or as a diptych but when they lined up as nicely as this I was not going to quibble.
For me, there is a humor in this stuff that I suspect is lost on most locals. The simple approach to signage, the inertia of neglect, and fairly radical difference in priorities comes through over and over again while riding past these places. Thanks to the Vespa's nimbleness, I must have made a dozen U-turns today all in an effort to make shots of buildings and signs. It's what's catching my eye. We'll see what happens tomorrow but portraits just haven't been an option.
