A door in downtown Birmingham. The door is rusty gray. The wall it closes into is sort of quartz pink.

A random door with the M3 and the Planar and Kodak Gold. I used to work in this building.

A large house atop a hill. Someone has made a temporary "service road" up to the house with a uniform layer of straw laid down in two swooping parallel lines. (It almost looks like a basket weave.)

(Is this what they mean by leading lines?)

a grainy black and white photo shows a woman with chest-length blond hair, sunglasses and a straw hat wearing a vest that says "CLINIC ESCORT" on it and leaning against a black wrought iron fence, while two women stand in a driveway behind her speaking

After escorting her last abortion patient, Pink House Defender Derenda Hancock rests against the clinic gate on July 6, 2022, the day before Mississippi’s abortion ban took effect following the Dobbs ruling.

She'd been standing guard since 2013.
