The picture of the storefront wants to tell stories! Your banner image is truly impressive!

The strangest thing. On my email notification I didnt see your name. Just went right to your description and I knew it was yours. Your writing style is as unique as your photography. Great image. As always. And everyone should click to see it as large as possible.

  Thanks Emilio. I can tell whose picture I am looking at also. At least in many cases. I am going to start saying “click it or die”

    You’re welcome! I think that image would look good many ways by the way. I could see it in various colors too.

What a sad building – even looks a bit like it has a black eye…

Wonderful and evocative, as always. Where do you find such decay?

Also… “Click it or die” *giggles*

  Click it or I’ll steal your sister. The storefront is in a tiny town with dirt roads 25 miles north of me, approaching Wyoming. Still a few jewels I have not yet found.

    You’re welcome to one of them, the other I’ll keep. I would love to be able to explore a few old barns around here. Maybe I should wander around this town, which has been here since 1872, and see what there is, eh?
