PhotoHunt - Faux School

I have walked and driven by The Faux School many times and wondered what type of "false" education could be found there. Through the web site I learned that it is a school that teaches the techniques of creating a finish with paint and plaster that looks like marble, wood or some other material. So if you want to upgrade your home painting skills, go to the link above.

Not all of our skies have been cloudy and filled with falling water of various types!

My World - First Saturday Ice

Downtown Frederick celebrated First Saturday with the theme "Fire in Ice". Mother Nature coorporated by dumping 8 inches of the white stuff back on January 26 and some of it stayed for the celebration. (Last February's First Saturday was delayed by a couple of feet of snow.) Thirty-five businesses and organizations sponsored ice sculptures. I made my tour before the crowds appeared and missed the ice sculpting demonstration (last image). More shots of downtown will be posted Thursday on Window Views.

Sky Watch - Muted skies

Our skies have looked like this recently, with white sky over white ground (shot February 1). The next three were from January 15 and the last was February 2 in the late afternoon.

Window Views - Abandoned doors

This service station has been closed for a number of years - the bay doors abandoned to random painters.
