Sterling architecture

They call it Sterling Place. I call it lovely.

Which explains why I stand on the sidewalk and pause for some architectural appreciation.

None of this is planned. On the way from here to there, I realize I haven’t been here in a while, so I should remember the moment in some way. The sidewalk is narrow, the traffic whizzing by just inches from where I stand. It’s hardly an ideal place for a spontaneous smartphone photo session, but I figure I should make do with what I’ve got.

So I point the lens upward and play with the geometry to ensure everything lines up. I’m sure I attract some odd stares along the way, but deep down I hope I’m planting some seeds so that strangers might do the same thing.

What a world it would be if more of us stopped between here and there to stare up at what was, what is, and what might be.
