| Photographs of American Churches, Homes and Office Buildings by Trucker Mike: Page 1 | Buildings, Page 2 | Buildings, Page 3 |

I've driven by tens of thousands of buildings. Most of them are rather ordinary, the same kinds of structures you probably see every day on your way to or from work or driving to the store. In fact, you probably live and work in rather ordinary buildings because most people do. The photos in this section are here for a few reasons: 1) they caught my eye as I was driving by (size? shape? color? age? strangeness?); 2) I happened to have my camera with me when I saw the building, and the camera had film in it; 3) conditions were conducive to taking a picture at the time (enough light, fairly decent angle, tolerable traffic and road conditions). All this means is that these pictures are not intended to be a complete record or listing of anything. I'm sure there are bigger, smaller, older, newer, stranger buildings all over the place, but I did not see the other buildings or I was not able to take their pictures if I did see them. If I have mislabeled or not labeled something and you know what or where the building is, please e-mail me with the information so I can correct the page. |

| I think I remember seeing these buildings in the Dallas, Texas area, from I.35W, possibly. | This pink-striped building overlooks I>285 in the Atlanta area. | This bluish building with vertical shafts is again outside Atlanta, GA. |

| This sports complex is on the north side of Memphis, TN, beside I.40 and near the Mississippi River. | The Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission HQ in Laurel, MD, which deals with drinking and sewer water, thus the water drop at top center. | Loaded with gingerbread and last year's Christmas lights, this house is in Blossburg, PA. |

| This is now the building which used to have the black and white mural (see below center). | The gilded dome of the capitol building rises above Charleston, WV. | This mirrored slab of a building is somewhere in the Chicago suburbs. How could it resist a strong wind hitting it from the broad side? |

| Another Chicago suburb edifice. | Peeking above the elevated highway, I.94 I think, in Chicago. This building has been repainted twice since this photo. It now has full-color pictures on it. | Sears Tower in Chicago, at one time the tallest building in the world. |

| Abandoned warehouse somewhere in the South. | An old country church in a field off U.S. 6 in north-central Indiana. | Office building along I.75 in southwest Ohio. |
