You really should have seen me taking this photo. I was leaning over a low concrete wall and holding my camera as close as I could get it to this water. I am sure that the townspeople appreciated the view and so I think I need to apologize for that particular thing.

However, I also want to thank the fine folks of Petersburg, Texas, for providing such an interesting photographic subject. It was quite an ten minutes of shooting.

But whatever the reason, here’s yet another parking garage…

the exchange

In the handful of minutes that I observed this interaction (or exchange, if you will), I made up a whole narrative in my mind.

In case you were wondering.
