While Greg and I were having breakfast downtown last weekend I noticed these beautiful pink roses outside the window. At some point I went out to get a photograph of them in the dew. I waited a little too long, but in the process of trying to capture the flower, I took a photo that showed a bit of the Wiley Building in the background. I liked the idea, so took another that showed more of the building.
The Wiley Building is a landmark downtown, but is owned by someone who doesn’t seem to want to maintain it, and it now has no tenants. It’s one of the largest buildings downtown, and I think most locals don’t perceive how much would be missing if it weren’t there.
As I was running around doing errands on Saturday, this point was reinforced multiple times. First was this photo. Then, as I was coming back from the Farmer’s Market I noticed the reflection of the Wiley Building in the First National Bank building.
I decided to go take a photo of the actual Wiley Building.
And as I drove past, I couldn’t help but notice its reflection in yet another window. This time on a white van with Oklahoma plates.
If you want to see some really cool photos of the inside, check out Greg’s post here.
