My notes and sketches
I see that the scanned pages didn’t display. I will try to fix that and post them separately, as these notes won’t mean much if you can’t see the sketches. But I’ll leave this as it is and if I can get the pages uploaded correctly you will be able to compare.
I know you cannot read the written words on these pages. Don’t worry about it. Look at the sketches, and after each page I will type out what the words on the page were.
Armed only with these sketches and words, and this summary, the eight-Judge panel had to pick one photo of four printed in color on an 8 1/2 x 11 piece of paper. Do you think you could have done it? You will get your chance when I upload Folder J.

Summary
“first impressions — high, cold, isolated.
“Reflective vertical surface. Saw parallel lines from below — like roof beams. They came out from something — a wall? I think they were would — or is that overlay? Repeatedly saw parallel lines — maybe metal and hollow? Maybe solid metal? Reminded me of conveyor belt.
“Then looked like two walls of the building, stucco, beige. All muted colors, light. Slanting daylight because late in day. Building within a wall, strange roof line, curve. Rusty color, brick color. Comfortable feel to it. Impression of soaring bird. Page to gate. Paved with cobblestone-like paving.
“Maybe historical site in American s.w.
“The Alamo?”
