Shattered Showroom

This Wednesday evening is just warm enough for walking, which was my activity a little earlier. As I write, the outdoors air temperature is a comfortable-enough 12 degrees Celsius (54 Fahrenheit), such that light hoody was warm-wear suitable.

I set out to shoot Christmas decorations and nabbed a few. But the Featured Image takes the night. Walking westward along El Cajon towards Park Blvd, in my San Diego neighborhood of University Heights, I came upon a gaping hole in the showroom glass of Lusti Motors.

The place services and sells some shockingly expensive classic cars. You would think that such damage would be of concern to someone. Yes, clear tape covers some of the cracks, which makes me wonder: If the alarm isn’t blaring, then is it disabled, thus making the place vulnerable to thieves?

I manually focused Leica Q2 for this one, and questionably well, too. Vitals, aperture manually set: f/1.7, ISO 500, 1/15 sec, 28mm; 7:43 p.m. PST.
