Harris Avenue runs by the rail tracks in Providence. It has very little traffic and even in the days of Covid-19, it is a reasonably safe place to visit. Jan and I were the only pedestrians on the street and very few cars went by while we photographed the same wall once more.
Some faces faded, even more, paint running like bad make-up. A few large pieces remained there, albeit with less vivid colors. And, there were new additions to the collection on the wall, or Off The Wall as I called the post last time.
The weather was iffy, overly cloudy and the threat of rain lingered in the back of our minds all the while. We walked up and down the wall picking our frames. I took several panoramic views for later stitching but forgot to take a large number of the same view shots for an experiment of stacking them for super-res.
After we returned home, I rushed back to take 20 or so shots of the same frame but later I found the idea lacking. The expected super-resolution did not materialize.
As I got in the car a second time around, it started to sprinkle. I still managed to get home just a little ahead of the rain.
Here are some selections from Jan’s collection.
And, some of mine. Click to view the larger, in some cases much larger photographs.
Happy Retirement, Misha

What a feast for the eyes and camera. Infinite possibilities. I just captured some images of some older painted over graphics. I’ll have to post some on Cluster. I’ll have to get out and look for this spot of yours!

Thanks, Bill. You will enjoy that spot with ICM possibilities too. Let’s see some on Cluster.

Really enjoyed seeing these. Always liked the weathered effect of pealing paint, wood and paper and the theme of erosion. Took a series of driftwood washed up by the shore awhile back. the artwork, transformed by nature, takes on its own life- independent of what the original artist created, but very engaging.

David, thanks for stopping by. Welcome to Kept Light! This is how “time” paints, with rust, erosion, corrosion, but in an eventually kinder way. Harris Ave. can be a productive destination.
Take care,
Cemal

Hidden treasures…How wonderful that you and Jan found them and are able to share the images with all of us. Thank you..

Louise, Harris Ave. is a quiet road. You may want to spend some time there to see what will grab your attention. There is very little traffic, both vehicular or pederstrian. We are glad that you enjoyed the virtual visit.
