Continuation
Well, really, who wouldn’t be enchanted by the repetition of the patterns in the plowed field, the metal walls, and the roof?

Hospitalization
This hospital closed for good in 2001. According to this article, at the time it closed, the hospital was the second-largest employer in town, with about 120 employees. The town itself had, at the time, about 2,200 residents, so the loss of that many jobs must have damaged the town’s economy in ways that are still being felt nearly twenty years later.
And, all these years later, there is still some stuff lying around. At this point, I guess it’s safe to assume it’ll just be here forever.

The Last Quarter
Here’s my confession: I didn’t even SEE the moon when I made the picture. I didn’t notice it until I was in Lightroom, looking for and erasing a few dust spots. And even then, I thought it was just a giant hunk of dust stuck on the sensor.
It’s a shame that I am not nearly as observant as I believe myself to be.
