Just beautiful photography Bob! These olde towns should become historical monuments to live in immortality! I could spend days wandering the streets!
Great work!

Thank you! Towns try to sustain but it is a long, uphill struggle. In this area, there is a long history of Atlanta corporations attempting to buy big acreage for landfills (locals won that protracted court battle) and more recently companies searching for acreage and infrastructure to support huge data centers, i.e. server farms, which suck up energy and water resources to the detriment of local communities. Progress?

Maryland has a similiar battle with runoff into all the tributaries that flow into the Potomac River, Chesapeake Bay and Susquehanna River(Conowingo Dam for all the Eagles). It has killed the vegatation that water life depends on, kills the crab population and the oysters also.
Sometimes I feel like I am reading the "Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire" or "1984" where the Country is destroying itself from within!

The tones and textures of "Tractor Seat" are classic, Bob.
I very much like everything about this image.
Thank you Paul.
My overall preference too but probably an outlier for most.
Subjects like this intrigue me often prompting imagining its use over time. I appreciate your thoughts.
Best,
Bob

Nice set Bob! I too like the 'lights on the wall'.
Thank you Jon.
Yes, one glance and a 'gotta have' moment followed. I find it interesting to revisit areas over the years and observe the changes. This particular area is a niche probably designed for self-reflection and meditative moments. A large faux chalk board is at the entrance with "Before I Die" as the title and areas where folks can write individual objectives, to include a checkbox.
It is out of context for the surroundings, and now gradually falling into disuse; most recently a place to stash damage from the hurricane, hence the dangling string of lights.
I looked at these when you first posted them and thought they looked great! I meant to leave a comment but somehow got distracted and didn't. The two Jags and the diagonal string of lights are particularly enjoyable images, but all of them show your processing skill with excellent tonal control. Good to see your work here again after a too long absence.

Thank you for the kind words Brent!
I intend to be a better FM citizen but sometimes life takes a different path. I don't plan to spend another 9 months photographing HS and travel baseball but one never knows. It was fun, but also sated that appetite.
