Doorbell of the Former Pyramid Atlantic Building · CiviScape

http://www.civiscape.com/daily-pic/doorbell-former-pyramid-atlantic

Exploring civilization's landscape by James Smith. Doorbell of the Former Pyramid Atlantic Building. A doorbell isn’t all that fancy or interesting. But there’s the contrast of the black with the red. And the stepping of the bricks leading to someone walking by. We usually imagine doorbells as being next to the door. Placed so that you’re facing the door. But this one is off to the side. So it draws your attention away from where you’re wanting to go. Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window).

http://www.civiscape.com/daily-pic/grass-edging-us-district-court-mini-park

Exploring civilization's landscape by James Smith. Grass Edging at a US. Parks make us feel like we’re experiencing a bit of nature. But those small plots of land near an office building only look like they are natural. Or, if not natural, at least composed of nature.

Exploring civilization's landscape by James Smith. Red Door Through the Brick Wall. A red door beckons beneath a light. An exit that grants entrance to somewhere else.
