We buy
What remains behind when a business closes down interests me. Almost never do I encounter an empty, but clean, building. Variations on this scene are common.
So, this place. I guess they bought grain and feed. Purina was involved. What happened next? I don’t know. But whatever it was, it’s been a while since it happened.

This
Another shot from Sudan, just a couple of blocks from the yard sale sign. Kind of a mystery, I think, about what “This” refers to, but I like it.

Deserts and…color?
Since August 2012, I have posted almost nothing but black and white images here at One Day | One Image. It wasn’t any sort of planned thing, but that’s just what felt right.
But there’s just something about Santa Rosa that makes me think color is the way to go.
First, there was this – with color.
Then, we had this – with color.
And, now this one. But, to be honest, how could I not post this in color? I’d lose those fantastic lavender columns….
