Random Phoughts
Some random shots from the past year.
The Hayfield Motel is on US highway 50 in Gore, Virginia. Highway 50 is one oft he Old US highways. built in 1926 that originally ran from Sacramento, CA to Ocean City, Maryland. It's a nice drive, I have driven most of it in bits and pieces.. It is certainly not a day trip. The Hayfield is a nice, tidy, decently maintained motel to look at.
The Hayfield Motel sign... a classic.
A Red Outbuilding ...out in a field.
One of the beautiful, open valleys of the Virginia Adirondacks.
It looks like they ran out of paint.
An old pile of brick in Cairo Illinois
The Gem Theater in Cairo, IL. on the right side of it there is a big gap in the wal that has a tree whose trunk is about 14" growing out of it. I'm guessing they don't sell popcorn anymore.
Built in 1931, this is probnably the best-maintained building in Cairo... & one of the few remaining standing,
Rooms for let.
And then we randomly jump to California... well, not too random... it was a long cross-country drive in the middle of November.
Fog breaking from inland toward the ocean. I was driving east from Morro Bay toward Atascadero.
East of Paso Robles.
In the middle of California's Souther Coast Range there is a broad wide valley with highway 25 running up. On the West of the valley the slops are wooded with oaks.
A dry hill under a blue sky
Silly people with your cell phones, you can't see any of the detail in this shot. Trust me, it's lovely.
I like all of the parallel cattle paths on this hillside
Barn and water tank before a mountain range.
When these folk run over to the neighbors to borrow a cup of sugar, they stay for a cup of coffee an a chat as well.
A yellow barn.
