the capture
Yes, indeed I did back up on that one-lane dirt road for about a quarter of a mile because I didn’t think this was something that needed to be left un-photographed. (A more observant photographer probably would have managed to stop the moment it came into view. But I needed some time to decide if it was worth the effort to back up.)
I mean, it’s sort of a cliche to photograph a tumbleweed caught up in a barbed wire fence, but I guess it’s a cliche for a reason.

gro-gas
Several years ago my friend Ron showed his credentials as a location scout by telling me about a tiny town called Bledsoe, which has a lovely, abandoned school. I’ve photographed the school several times but this was the first time I’d ever stopped to get photos at the Gro-Gas, which currently offers neither of those things.

product/placement
I drive by this mashup of informational signage on a fairly regular basis, and finally stopped to get the photo that was in my head all along.
You’re welcome.

i have questions
Couple of questions here:
- Why does that waterfowl need binoculars to look at the barricade that is RIGHT THERE?
- How TF is that same waterfowl holding the binoculars in the first damn place?

visitor parking
It is a rare thing for me to walk by a parking garage and not take a photo. I’m not sure why I find them endlessly fascinating – maybe its the various textures of the concrete, the reflected light, the unseen movement of vehicles. Or maybe it’s because I was raised by a civil engineer.
But whatever the reason, here’s yet another parking garage…
