old and new

i have been at my new gig now just over a month, although it feels greatly accelerated. although i have been hanging around this place for the last 25 years, it still feels weird to be working here. and things i hadn't ever paid attention to before, i'm now beginning to notice. so i thought i'd share some that have popped out in recent days, and give you a sense of some of the more interesting images that have stopped me in my tracks these past weeks.

(where the women go, which is always nicer)
