Pipe Organ Creationism

Near the corner of Mass and College, across the street from the old Coke bottling plant...

There's quite a bit of detail here; you can view large by clicking the image...

Rural Mass

The weather has been nicer, so I've been a picture taking fool as of late; this was taken at, where else, Rural and Mass...

This also is best if viewed large on black, you may do so by clicking the image...

The Ghost Tree

Paranormal tree activity occuring on Mass Ave...

This is much better if viewed large...

Lonely Pumps

Taken at the IPS bus depot (the old Coca Cola bottling plant) at the corner of College and Mass...

Bizarre Randomness

Trespassing shadow off of Lincoln Street in the Bates-Hendricks area...


An urban garden on Bellefontaine Street near Mass Ave...


In case you haven't been able to tell...I like photographing repeating patterns. The Marsh Marketplace, looking at Vermont Street.


On Ft. Wayne Avenue, near the War Memorial.

Looking West down Washington Street for the plaza at the City County Building...


Looking West down Ohio Street...

Brookside View

I've always loved the view from here. Looking towards downtown from Massacheusetts Avenue, close to Rural Street. Brookside Park is located just after the signal (Valley Street) in the distance.

Definitely better if view large...

The Northeast 45

Massachusetts Avenue is one of the 45 degree angle streets coming into the square mile of Indianapolis, per Alexander Ralston's original design. This post explores Mass Ave going into the northeast side of Indianapolis.

Near Rural Street...

Near Sherman Drive

When scoping an angle for the previous shot, I spotted the Martin University Performing Arts Center. This shot was originally an experiment, but I liked the composition enough to include it here.

Near Emerson Avenue

Lawyers in Love // Disco Apocalypse

The mental randomness that only an attorney's office with disco balls on the roof can drudge up...Bonus points to the ones who can identify what the title of this post is dropping an allusion to.

The Other Side of Cottage Home

Located northeast of the intersection of 10th and Massachusetts, it is literally on the other side of the Cottage Home neighborhood. This shows some examples of the warehouses that are intermixed with residential homes that Kevin mentioned in a comment about Cottage Home.

This is quite a large industrial complex; the interesting colors make it look less mundane and boxy.




The most dangerous shot of the day...Being butted up against a retaining wall that is taller than me while high speed traffic is whizzing by makes me nervous...


As luck would have it, a train just happen to come by when I was here...

There are many abandoned buildings like this along this stretch of Massachusetts and track; I intend on coming back and explore these some more.

Looking northeast toward Martindale in Massachusetts.

On Northeastern Mass Ave

This area is Massachesetts Avenue is located between College Avenue and 10th Street, near Chatham Arch.

If given enough time, I could think of a thousand different uses for this classic Art Deco building other than that of a bus service depot.

I love the detail on this place.

Massachusetts and College Avenues...Thermite charges not included!

45 degrees from Ordinary...

The South end of the Monon trail...On a beautiful day such as this, it was quite busy.
