This is the rundown DeJarnette building in Staunton. There are 2 buildings just alike and I was only able to capture this one. The whole area is fenced off. The story behind it and it's namesake is right out of a horror story. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_DeJarnette

Here's the colour versions. I used Astia rather than my usual Velvia for a change. I do like the colour of the prop and the shop front reflection in colour I must say.
Horror story is right! I heard stories about that place growing up! leighton w wrote:

Some others from the 50mm f1.2 ais. I played around with increasing, and decreasing the blur on all four lenses and found they look surprisingly alike - except when deliberately unfocused. Which, I suppose explains Nikon making the 105 and 135 AF lenses with a defocus feature. Too many abstract keepers to share, but I really like the variations. As an added bonus - here is the horizontal tree that we did for only one year. Every year the cats act like the tree is the ultimate toy, and throw their bodies at it with abandon. I found cats hanging from the horizontal tree - so there is no way to keep them off it.

The linked article says that the practice continued thru 1979? In our lifetimes? Unbelievable.
The guillotine was in use until 1977… 😬

The last time we tried to have a tree - the cats plotted destruction for days. I ended up hanging it from the ceiling from both ends - parallel to the floor. Yesterday Barb decided to try the traditional - on the floor approach - which obligated me to document it's condition before the cat shenanigans began.

Ah - Freddie. I was fortunate to see Queen play live in the Olympiahalle in 1986.

I am feeling old now (especially after getting pneumonia and acute bronchitis; I cannot go out and take pictures; even inside the house, I am feeling exhausted). I have seen Queen in 1981.
I'd love to go in there to shoot some.
