Do you wonder who lives in that blue house?\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n Or the RV parked in the Mobile Home Park?<\/strong><\/p>\n Do you pass by any building without a visible sign or purpose and wonder what goes on inside that structure?<\/strong><\/p>\n Not that long ago we were passing through Eufaula, Alabama, a town that is full of gorgeous architecture.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n A metal sided commercial building caught my eye as we sat at a red light and I snapped a photograph of the second story.<\/strong><\/p>\n The building was a simple rectangular shape without any distinguishing features. <\/strong><\/p>\n The lone window in the second story fascinated me.\u00a0 A window air conditioner hung out of the left side of the aluminum framed window.<\/strong><\/p>\n Simple mini blinds were lowered to cover the entire window, as a shield from the afternoon heat. <\/strong><\/p>\n There, between the glass and the blinds sat two succulent plants looking healthy and happy to be soaking up the sunshine. <\/strong><\/p>\n I wondered if that window belonged to an upstairs office or apartment.<\/strong><\/p>\n Did someone live there or was it a place of employment?<\/strong><\/p>\n If it was an apartment, was it occupied by the building\u2019s owner, the owner\u2019s employee or someone that wasn\u2019t at all related to the downstairs business?<\/strong><\/p>\n The window was not giving me any clue as to the purpose of that second story.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n The light changed, we went on our way and stopped a few blocks later at another traffic light.\u00a0 My mind was now on other buildings that surrounded us.<\/strong><\/p>\n I forgot about that mysterious second story window until I downloaded photographs from my camera to my computer.<\/strong><\/p>\n My curious mind, once again, wondered about that second story.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n Unless I visit Eufaula, Alabama and inquire about that particular building I can only wonder what transpires behind those simple, light blocking blinds.<\/strong><\/p>\n
