Park Bench, East End

On the East End of Downtown Tulsa, just outside the inner loop on South Madison there is an old neighborhood.

There, the Herbold Apartment Building provides a smoking area which is across the street from the apartments, and next to a fence that looks down on the busy highway. From here you can watch cars and trucks and buses go by at 60 miles per hour. From here you can meditate or worry or stare into the dissonant whirring of progress and the tranquility of the noisy city.

And maybe have another cigarette.

Very good picture Mr. Shaw. Thank you for taking it. I own the Herbold apartments across the street and put the bench there a few years ago for a few homeless friends I know. They used it everyday while they made their dumpster collections.
