Temple Visit, Redux
It seems to me that, for whatever reason, some photographic images lend themselves more smoothly to the "vintage treatment" than others. One of the images from the previous post was felt to be one such. I subjected it to multiple "retro-fying" treatments to imbue it with the antique look. I'm 87% satisfied with the result.

A Little (Slightly) Morbid Humor...
When I came across the first image in an old folder I immediately thought of the old expression. I thought it was pretty fitting, in a funny yet literal way, and couldn't resist the urge to stage the second shot as a follow-up.

And...
"You can't take it with you" (although this actually looks like a valiant attempt^)

Errant Jacket
Bears a curious resemblance to a dying stray cat...
Toys, figurines, shoes, even a pigeon wing, and now a jacket with fur trim.
What's next?

Another Very Disorienting Staircase
Merely stand on a precarious ledge that wasn't meant to be trod on (don't try this at home -- I'm a professional^), and suddenly it's almost as if up and down had overlapping meanings.

Another One From Your Friendly Neighborhood OCD Man
...who also happens to be very interested in camouflage. I saw this out the bus window and couldn't resist. I barely had time to click off a shot before the bus took off again.

EDIT: I've got music playing on the computer, and just now, as I typed "coincidence" in the Labels section, Duran Duran sang "...coincidence" in their song "Ordinary World". What a coincidence :D

A Christmas Visit To Myeongdong Cathedral
It was late afternoon and the warm light of the lowering sun brought out the beauty of the building wonderfully. But getting there meant I first had to run a gantlet of police, all ready in advance for a possible riot as the recent political upheavals had all kinds of protesters/idiots out in force demonstrating for all kinds of causes, some of which had nothing at all to with the government. Fortunately, it was all peaceful and everything was hunky-dory.
