Cash Transaction

This? Oh, I meant for the shot to not include either one of those arms. But there they are anyway.

The sunny side we also may view

Typical road trip conversation*:

Me: Look over there, at that old church/house/cemetery/etc.!

Patient Spouse: What? Where?

Me: OK. You have to make a u-turn.

Patient Spouse:

And that’s how I got this shot.

Titans of Industry

This long arc of train cars – no engine at either end – sits on a siding, waiting for…something.

Church + Cemetery

I guess the interest and/or money ran out after the sign but before the church. (There was a cemetery, though, way over to the right.)

Most of an angel

Poor angel: she’s missing some critical components. At first, I thought maybe she’d fallen over, but I’ve drifted to another idea now, and think she’s probably the victim of cemetery vandalism. But either way, she’s still doing her assigned task, watching over the grave of Tommie Allen, who died in 1911, just five days shy of his ninth birthday.
