Building

A building has integrity just like a man.  And just as seldom.

~ Ayn Rand

I like going down alleys and looking at the backs of buildings.  The front is - often - where people focus their attention.  Putting forth a good image.  Making a positive first impression.  Some people are like this, too - focused on the surface, but not the depth.

But I'm much more interested in what is behind the facade.  What is the quality of the entire structure?  What is there to back up whatever that superficial image is?  Does that image run throughout the building?  Or the person?

Also, sometimes there are free things behind buildings.  Or things that look like maybe they're free.  And no one is back here anyway, so they won't mind if I take a few of these.
