Brick Wall, Pipes, and Stairway. San Jose, California. December 26, 2008. © Copyright G Dan Mitchell – all rights reserved.
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.
