Another one of those moments when the inner photo editor says "stop right here and photograph this." Though there is nothing there to photograph, when I see the scene in the camera's frame I understand on an intuitive level what it is about. Later I can see the appeal of the several angled planes and lines, the subdued red, cyan, and neutral color, the rhythm of asphalt markings, building openings and bricked-in openings, signs, overpainted graffiti, and peeling plaster, the empty asphalt and flat sky, together adding up to an eerily serene and orderly, though empty and desolate, scene with no content, agenda, metaphor, or irony other than the space itself and the shapes that enclose it.

This beautiful dragonfly has a bright red top side and a dull light green bottom side. Apparently, these two tone style dragonflies are all lumped under stripped.

The Strip District is a neighborhood in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in the United States. It is a one-half square mile area of land northeast of the central business district bordered to the north by the Allegheny River and to the south by portions of the Hill District. The Strip District runs between 11th and 33rd Streets and includes three main thoroughfares — Smallman St., Penn Ave., and Liberty Ave. — as well as various side streets.
In the early 19th century, the Strip District was home to many mills and factories as its location along the Allegheny River made for easy transportation of goods and shipping of raw materials. It was the home of the Fort Pitt Foundry, source of large cannon before and during the American Civil War, including a 20-inch (510 mm) bore Rodman Gun. Early tenants of the Strip District included U.S. Steel, Westinghouse, The Pittsburgh Reduction Company (ALCOA), and later The H.J. Heinz Company, famous ketchup and condiment manufacturer.
The shipping infrastructure built around the manufacturing companies naturally lead to an increase in other types of merchants setting up shop in the Strip. By the early 20th century the Strip District became a vibrant network of wholesalers—mostly fresh produce, meat, and poultry dealers. Soon auction houses rose around the wholesale warehouses and many restaurants and grocery stores were built to feed hungry shift workers at any hour of the day. By the 1920s The Strip District was the economic center of Pittsburgh.
In the mid-to-late 20th century fewer of the Strip's products were being shipped by rail and boat, causing many produce sellers and wholesalers to leave the area for other space with easier access to highways or where there was more land available for expansion. Today in the Strip District there are still several wholesalers and produce dealers, but some estimates say more than 80% of the produce industry left the area—as have the manufacturing plants and mills. Today many of the abandoned warehouses have been renovated into small specialty shops, restaurants, nightclubs, and bars. The historic St. Stanislaus Kostka Church, a landmark built in the ornate Polish Cathedral style in 1891, lies in the heart of the Strip District, bringing a touch of Old World architecture.
The area has developed into a historic market district with many ethnic food purveyors, some art studios, antique dealers, unique boutiques and other such businesses setting up shop where trains once delivered produce by the ton. The Strip District comes alive primarily on weekends during the summer months when street vendors are selling their wares, the open-air farmer's markets are in full swing, and party-goers sit outside and enjoy a drink.
The area has seen interest by residential developers recently, as old factory and warehouse buildings are being transformed into apartments and lofts. Examples include the Armstrong Cork Factory, Brake House Lofts and now the Otto Milk Building. A mixed-use tower is planned for the Ayoob fruit warehouse site.

Electric Dreams: Art and Technology Before the Internet at Tate Modern, London
"Carlos Cruz-Diez’s immersive installation Chromointerferent Environment fills the room. A sequence of moving parallel lines colour the gallery floor and ceiling. The projection is constantly in motion, changing the appearance of the objects and people in the room. This creates a disorientating effect. Visitors are invited to interact with the cubes and balloons positioned around the room, engaging directly with the dizzying optical patterns."
It may have lost many of its blossoms, but this canola stalk was standing tall, well above most others in the field.

Took this photo from stratosphere casino. Overlooks the strip. This is the second photo of the series. I believe I posted the first one few years back (blood moon over vegas) and that was entirely panorama. This one is lot more cropped.
