There were two ‘firsts’ the day I took the majority of these – both strange ones, and I definitely thought I was more towards the end of ‘firsts’ this far into this little journey! First #1: see that second last photo in this group? The door alcove with the shadows? I’ve been here before. And – it was actually one of my 365 photos: Day 334. Have a look – it looks completely different, but I guess it was pretty obvious it was being in the process of being changed last time! I figured I could break my ‘can’t photograph the same place twice’ rule for this one. First #2: it was insanely bright outside – really, really, really bright. I can’t use my camera and sunglasses at the same time, and I was in a empty industrial car park – surrounded with white cement. I joke quite regularly that I can’t see when it’s super sunny, which is true. This day, I went one better. I cried. Completely involuntary, and it sure wasn’t at the glorious pink of that wall – it was just so bright that my eyes *ahem* watered. A lot! My husband (who was wearing sunnies and parked in the shade – smart man) just looked at me and shook his head. Poor man.
