farm stand

It wasn’t a farm stand in the sense of “Oh, look! Fresh tomatoes!!” but at some point it looked like it had been. Now it was sort of an “I’m making a u-turn to photograph that old place.” situation.

corner store

This used to be a thriving corner, right there at the intersection of Main and Railway Streets. It has, however, gotten over that, with nearly the entire block of buildings sitting vacant. It’s not anything I haven’t seen before in a thousand little towns, but it still made me sad to see the same scene repeated here.

red church

The church was unlocked so I…well, you know what I did.

Those red curtains made the place glow.

amber

I was several rows away from this one-armed figure when I spotted her ephemeral amber-colored glow.

After I’d made several photos and walked a few feet to my right, I noticed her missing arm in the grass. I’m not sure of the protocol around angel arms, but I went ahead and moved it closer to her. In case she needed it.

rain dance

A late afternoon rain shower + a new camera = a good practice session.
