Was at Traffic Court in Brattleboro Wed., appealing (successfully!) a violation. Had a ball walking around town. Here’s what I saw, starting with this incredible “layer-cake” steeple at the Centre Congregational Church.

The Stone Church in Brattleboro, now the site of what looks like some very cool concerts and performances. But look at the roof. I loved the sharp angles, points, and slate shining in the sun.

I think these are the old window spaces in the historic Latchis Theater in downtown Brattleboro. Very fun that they’re painted with theatrical images. The river burbles underneath, with leafy places above to sit, gaze, sip… Do the shoppers coming and going from the Brattleboro Co-op, from which this is the view, still notice? Or does this require fresh eyes to see?

And there were logging trucks everywhere. This isn’t something we see on Cape Cod.

I did get to Mitchell-Giddings Fine Arts to check on my favorite piece from last time I was here. This is a sculpture made from the black mesh of fireplace screens. The artist is Eric Boyer and this piece is called Apollo. I love the unlikeliness of the material and expression. One of the homes on the last West Falmouth Library tour had one of these, immediately recognizable.
