"Fancy Gutters" by Kim (a.k.a. seattledailyphoto)

Uppity literary types and scholars like to bandy about the term _palimpsest_ these days but, as Kim shows, these things exist rather beautifully in our everyday built environment, not just in rare manuscripts. Some layers of the past are covered up, some are scraped away and deleted, and some occasionally find their way back to the surface; we're all the better for it. CK Dexter Seattlest Flickr pool, you have unsuspected depth! Actually... we suspected all along and we're thankful that you share it with all of us.
