Steps, handrail, mailbox, door, and wall in a light industrial building in downtown San Jose, California.

I found this doorway on a side street in a light industrial area of downtown San Jose. I like the combination of all sorts of angles – perspective lines and the line of the handrail – and the contrast between the cold tone cement of the entry way and the warmly lighted interior of the building.

Yes, it is another “urban landscape” photograph.

Roll-up industrial loading dock garage door with the words “will call” with column, sidewalk, leaves, and afternoon light – San Jose, California.

This minimalist scene was also photographed on my December 26 urban walk to and around parts of downtown San Jose with my son. The light on this shaded loading dock garage door is reflected from tall apartment buildings in full sun on the opposite side of the street.

Brick Wall, Pipes, and Stairway

Brick Wall, Pipes, and Stairway

Weathered brick wall, pipes, stairway, and sidewalk in an old industrial area of San Jose, California.

I found this surprising scene along a loading dock in an older light industrial section of downtown San Jose. I’m always attracted to brick walls, but the wild color combination of the natural brick, the gaudy but weathered paint on the pipes, and the rusted metal of the stairway caught my attention. There are some other smaller and subtler details that probably are only visible in the print.
