Number 3 in the series "the toxic waste part of town where we work".
Numbers 1 and 2, here and here.

It's raining all day today, and the steerer of the tandem refused. That's him in the distance. The azaleas are just outside our workplace. While the flowers are bright, it is no where near enough that one could say they "brighten up" the dismal surroundings, even though I hope the illusion caused by this wide-angle photograph may lead you to think otherwise.

I wonder if I could make even better illusions with one of these...?
