Better times were but a memory
Scenes like this always get the attention of my photographic eye (you know that already, right?). There are so many stories here, and I can’t think that any of them had a very happy ending. The hand truck on the left side strikes me as the saddest part of this scene, but there are many things that are in second place.

Park/Bench
If I were going to sit on a bench by a river, I’d want to maybe SEE the river. I’m sort of weird that way.

A fan of the church
I’ve written posts in the past about my interest in seeing the nuts-and-bolts of things, the things that make it work or that hold it together. And I can promise you that I will always take a picture of a floor fan inside a church.

First Consecrated
Two important things, and one that’s silly:
- This was the first Roman Catholic church consecrated in the state of Washington;
- When I was there, a little sign on the door said the place had just been varnished and the doors were locked for another couple of days; and
- That little puff of dust is from a passing car, a car which for no reason at all I assumed was full of nuns.

Yes, obviously
Thank you, church sign, for stating the extremely obvious: it is indeed a country church.
But on the other hand, we only found it because the desk clerk at the hotel in Pullman, upon finding out we were on a photographic journey, gave me the Photographer’s Guide to the Palouse, a very handy thing to have in our possession.
