Uptown Aqua, Pittsburgh, May 14, 2015

            How thoroughly drab and tasteless, just the sort of thing I love. I like the three shades of blue, especially the '60s aqua color that also turns up in the refracted light from the window in the top left. The browns, with the shadows, feel sort of sideways-symmetrical, and the ocher of the brick is complemented by the yellow parking line. It's topped off by the curvy pipes, the empty blue planter box in the corner, and the blue paint visible in the mortar joints of the brown brick behind it. That "chu" tag is as boring as it is ubiquitous in Pittsburgh. Chu needs to get a real job.
