trading has ceased

I guess at some point this was a thriving business out on Route 66/Interstate 40. Those days were some distance in the past, however.

at the fold

I know this building doesn’t *really* have a fold in it. I know it used to have big plate glass windows that met at the thin frame in the corner. But now that the glass is gone, it sort of felt like a fold when I was standing inside of it looking out.

mailbox

It looks like someone needs to check on their mail. It doesn’t necessarily look important – I didn’t look through it or even touch it or even open the mailbox – but still: what if their notification about receiving a Pulitzer is in there?

As it happened, the day I made this image I was making a mad dash across western Oklahoma in order to get to Oklahoma City before a storm  (that included tornadoes) got there.

I made it…and was very glad that I did.

used cars in the rain

When you live in a dry climate, like I do, getting to make photos that include rain is a nice treat. And it was a bonus treat that traffic signals and the traffic itself lined up so I could get this shot from the dry interior of the car.
