Cedar Rapids parking structure, 2003

I was looking at some photographs of the recent flooding in Iowa and being struck by the awfulness of all those buildings underwater, not to mention people's lives, when I realized, hey, I photographed some of those buildings when they were dry. So I've posted a few of those.

I figured out what a lot of the buildings were by looking at recent photographs that identified them, and I was initially collecting links for a sort of before-and-after contrast, but it felt morbid. That's not why I took these pictures, and it's not why I'm sharing them. I just like Cedar Rapids.
