Rainy day runoff creates streaks across a section of parking spots labeled for customers, white paint against faded grey asphalt, with the edge of a retaining wall to the right in vibrant OSHA yellow. The contrast is interesting, but I like the glint of water over otherwise dry ground best😁

White walls Random sighting in Rock Hill, SC. Too cute to pass up🙃 #aofoto #classiccar #whitewalltires #antiquevehicles #antiquecars #candidcar #urban
Image of lowered parking lot, classic dark green car with wide, round headlights and white wall, narrow tires sits to the right facing left into the setting sun. The retaining wall behind the car cuts the frame in half with grass and trees above and the flat asphalt below.

Facts They Don’t Teach You We think of trees when we talk about plants that can cool cities and capture carbon. Moss doesn’t need deep soil or a large root system to survive. Its ability to grow in thin layers makes it particularly interesting for places where vegetation is difficult to establish.

Abused Concrete, 1 of 8(?) Same warehouse floor as previous posts, different area #industrial #highcontrast #concrete #aofoto #accidentalart #garageart
Close up of oil stained, randomly scarred and pitted concrete surface, shadowy blotches in grays and blacks and browns. Thin white lines strike across the center of the image, both drag marks and tiny cracks. Floor naturally appears to be in high contrast like a grayscale spatter painting.

Super closeup shot of wood paneled ceiling with knot hole twisting in the middle of one plank that looks exactly like a minimalist squiggle of a sting ray, languidly gliding overhead from right to left.

Black and white photo, shot down the center of steel scaffolding tunnel creating cross hatching lines making up the ceiling cover and the open, vertical beams in place of walls, where a discontinued rail trolley car is parked and kept on display. Tracks end in the foreground in their concrete supports. Car at far end of the station tunnel is early painted with white accents.

#AdoorableThursday #doors #stormyweather #rain #aofoto Ignored back door, in the held breath between drenching bouts.
Faded and weather worn whitewashed brick wall, painted black steel door on left side of frame, low pipe end dripping rust to the right. The doorway is flanked by rough grass and brown pine needles, a sodden patch of flat concrete provides a rather pointless looking platform only a few feet from the wall outward across the ground, with a football sized stone laying off to the left. The top of thewall cannot be seen.

@aofoto.bsky.social Club lighting from the floor, up.
Dark room, spinning fan blades, orange light streaking out to the left from center of the ceiling fixture. Chrome colored bulb cones point outward in various directions, the 2 pull cords hang seemingly straight down as if static. Motes of illuminated dust are the only bits of color in the black space behind the fan

New borders revealed in the runoff. #RainyDayPhotography #AOFoto
Photo of dark mottled asphalt in streaks of glowing green color, rainy runoff trickles from top to bottom and a wide, neon yellow gel highlighter lays across the dirt at the top edge of the image. The water is dragging its ink over the pebbles and grime of the asphalt making lines of topography in black, grays, greens and browns. Reminds me of resin pouring in landscape style art.

Just wanted to share the perfect example for every single one of my cats... all 4 seem to have days like this... and I'm glad not to be alone in the feeling🤣🤣 The meme The irl example
meme of white cat with green eyes, ears back, close up camera angle right up its cat's little pink nose... cat appears mildly distressed or confused

the meme caption is split between top and bottom borders:

"it turns out that the

voices in my head are thoughts"Freddie the black shorthair cat and her tiny black toe beans on one paw popping out from an arm supporting her in her human's lap like a toddler. She stares placidly, eyes half-lidded, in the general direction of the camera.

Ok so...hear me out. This is not a lotus. You're maybe running DUH bitch, but MY brain has doodled the basic petal pattern of this flower for YEARS with "lotus" in mind. I now see the error of my ways. It is, has always been, a goddam orchid. That is all. 🖤💀🖤
Henna pattern blended with pinstriping style orchid blossom design in black inkon white 4x6" paper. It is hand drawn but mostly symmetrical.

100% solid point: money/ value existing at such quantities that it COULD solve many problems but isn't actually doing anything might as well NOT exist. Choosing not to make ones vast wealth do some work for humans beyond oneself when it wouldn't even touch their functional gains is pure insanity💀

What to expect from ValdísRevives commissions? Quality & personalization like this green adventurine & copper daisy for my partner's mom (she has the cutest ideas). We designed a piece in-between minimalist outline and 3D gem wrapping🥰 • VRevives is coming soon to TheCollective store in RockHill SC🖤
Full view of copperwire and green aventurine hammered petal daisy necklace, white braided cord connects to thepetals by handmade jump rings and on one side a hook clasp. No itching and pulling neck hairs to wear, the clasp is part of the design in front! Background is faded black work board and the stone makes up the flower's center. Two tiny leaves and a stem hang beneath the blossom outline in one long strand of formed wire.Before image: daisy petal shape outlined in one long piece of copper wire, the stone in its wire nest lies nextto the loose wireIn progress image: the stone sits perfectly at the center of the wire petal outline for a proportion checkCompleted daisy, side view, the edgesof each petal outline show hammered flatness that catches the light.  The green adventurine at the center is barely tucked in by finite wire strands which stitch the entire piece together behind the petals. Hammered hook and links can be seen connecting the necklace cord in braided white cotton

Super stoked everybody: found a shop that just opened this year in my area, TheCollective. YES, fellow creatives, they really are a collective of makers who are fed up with the corporate struggle life, building their own community hub for folks like them, myself, & YOU🖤 Here's just some of the shop:
Pottery and jewelry by Maker's Hand, a large coffee mug and swirling floral shaped trinket tray on display on little wooden stands on a merch tableGorgeous hand carved, wood burned pieces on a wide shelf. Products in view range from charcuterie boards with cpu fish designs and chopsticks to sake bowls or cutting boards with dragon's eyesA peek from the side of the wood burned shelves to a large painting of rich warm autum colors, pale aspen trees overlooking a lakeOne of the backrooms of TheCollective shop has built-in wall spaces like a book book, but these are filled with beautiful driftwood sculptures that each hold at least one votive candle

Corlboards and canvases are on the wall above the lower shelves hosting crocheted keychain character poofs and handmade jewelry

To the right a cute table stands by a window, made of random slats of wood decorating white stacked milkcrates, with a cabinet door as its flat tabletop  all white washed

Roadside billboard by Adams in which Keystone claims marijuana is addictive which is pure fabrication. If you got "hooked" on weed, your shit is laced with something else!!

Sign reads:
Image of grass, gas pump red leaf, cooking pot, and living skunk

Words:
"Whatever you call it,
IT'S STILL ADDICTIVE!"
