Let’s assume they named the place “Two Pines” because “A Bunch of Elms” was already taken.

It’s not too much of an exaggeration to say that this is most of the town.

Shocking, isn’t it? That I posted a color photograph, I mean.

This image and I had a bit of a battle. See, I wanted it to be black and white, because that’s what I am doing now. I mean, I even posted a picture of the Pacific Ocean in b&w: I am committed to it.

But, no: this image had its own ideas. It was somewhat insistent, in fact, of the correctness of color over b&w. I didn’t want to believe it. But eventually it wore me down. And so, here’s a color photograph. I hope you’re not too upset by it.

(Also: the photograph was right. It DID need to be in color. But I will deny that I admitted it.)
