appliances

A cotton gin and a clothes dryer, both abandoned. (But to be honest, if they hadn’t been abandoned, they would have held much less photographic interest.)

decisions were being made

Three sizes of ice cream cones, three sizes of ice cream cups, four sizes of drink cups: no wonder that gentleman was taking some time to decide. That’s a lot. And then, when you add in the possibility of a banana split? It must verge on being completely overwhelming.

land of lincoln (he was everywhere)

It makes me happy to know that good ol’ Abe is still there, keeping watch on things as varied as a Thai restaurant, cracked sidewalks, and planters that are decorated with vintage advertisements. In this part of the country, Abe never rests – you can spot him nearly anywhere, keeping an eye on things.

pig-hip

I am so happy that the Pig-Hip Restaurant has been around for over 50 years. That truly is quite an accomplishment, isn’t it?

And also, “pig-hip”?

cathedral reflections

I am convinced that my camera is smarter than I am – I didn’t even see the way the reflections in the floor made a cross until I was already home and the images were downloaded. Way to go, camera!
