Every day, since coming to the Santa Ana Senior Center to work temporarily, I park in a five story parking structure. The view is different from up on the open air/top story.
The building with the American flag is the Spurgeon Building, named after a founding father. I love the various levels and shapes and colors.
This is the view north and down. Old bricks and new railings, I believe these are apartments above retail, but I can only guess because it all looks different from up here.
It is interesting being at or above tree tops, even if it is only Birch Park at Third and Birch. This is the park that my mother came to when she attended Santa Ana High School. The botony class came for leaves to press for their class project,(1947) to learn Latin names. Now the park is home to street people. (2009)
Just what lurks and lives on rooftops here in Santa Ana?
Interesting ducts and dishes, shapes repeated and satellites for entertainment.And then I looked down.
Yipes, stripes!
Stripes and shadows.
This way, out!
some of those images or all would make a great "urban" quilt - using photo transfers as well as, interpreting them with fabric. Very inspirational.
ReplyDeleteHi Peggy!
ReplyDeleteWOW when visiting classmates.com I saw that you are an avid art quilter - I can't wait to peruse your blog posts to see some of the fun things you have done over the years. We were cheerleaders together many many many years ago . . .
