Plywood Door

Locked plywood door, Sandpoint, Seattle

Keeping the prowlers out

The disused buildings at Sandpoint are closed up pretty well, with a few exceptions like broken ground-level windows that look like you could climb through (not that we did). Measures like this padlocked plywood door are typical ways that the old buildings have been closed up, presumably for liability purposes in case someone wound up hurting themselves in them.

Obviously, I've boosted the contrast here quite a bit to bring out the structure of the plywood, which is what I found interesting in the first place. I tinkered with this image quite a bit before settling on this form; I'm still not sure that it's quite how I would like it. Maybe at some point I will try to abstractify-it, like I managed to do for the Space Needle image.
