Light on a Small Section of Wall Makes a Paper Air Plane

The location was adjacent to the
truck driveway entrance to the loading dock of a major hotel in North West, Washington, DC.
The "Take It!” This may
be one of my biggest imaginings - but has been a long time in the making. For many years all sorts of trucks regardless of size had to line up to make deliveries to this massive hotel.
The former access driveway was narrow and very difficult to navigate. In the course of time I witnessed drivers of all sorts of sizes engage in frustration in how tight the entire path
was to make their deliveries.
After decades of enduring this
situation, the Hotel company finally invested in a long term construction project to bring about a complete expansion and remodeling of the ever so important part of the operation of the
Hotel.
I can honestly say - I have
never seen another jam up at the dock since the project has been completed.
That there is this very small
reminder that has the appearance of being a paper airplane in flight, is a splendid bit of wonder to me. I cannot help but wonder just how many peices of paper and later -
email communications went into the plea's to make this improvement happen.
Here’s to what it takes, to
make what is right, able to take flight.

It may not seem worthy of note, but
when there is a design update or correction needed in a building - what brings the attention to the flaw - is the people who have to come in contact with it. This set of people, can include the
service providers for the building, the suppliers who deliver the goods to keep the building and its services able to render the function of the building to the users, and finally the
customers who frequent the facility. When a problem is found - the sooner it is taken care of - the faster the place can run like a well oiled machine which is its intent.

If I saw this without the explanation I would have thought someone just opened a picture in Microsoft Paint and just whited out that portion of the picture.

Is that a lucky catch or is it always like that?

It really does look exactly like a paper airplane. What is the light casting off to make that?

When I first saw it I really thought it was a paper airplane.

This is just perfect, just a fun picture to look at and sort of analyze.

Teri and I must have stared at this photo for a good 20 minutes.
