A Mystery

                                                       Shelby County, Texas ~ July 2010

Why does an obviously vacant building
(bottom of the door is two feet from the ground ~ steps have been removed or disappeared;
weeds are growing up four feet tall in front of the door;
door jambs are bleeding with peeling paint ~
all that says vacant to me)
need eight fairly new-looking electrical junction boxes? 
Maybe there's something going on in this metal building
(although appearing to be dilapidated has no rust)
that doesn't meet the eye. 
Hmmmm.

Oh a good mystery. Any of those electrical boxes humming? Did you peek inside? Fun fun fun.

In the Netherlands we should think there is weed growing inside. Needs a lot of electricity and must be hidden.

It's a government conspiracy. I'm sure of it.

That is indeed a mystery!! I smiled when I saw your pic . . . I posted an old door today, too - with no steps (but not 2 feet off the ground).

Maybe there's a front door??? Sorry, I'm simple minded. :)

Peculiar, indeed!
