Old Building on Garden Valley Loop Road

What do you think this old building used to be? It sits in the back yard of a modern house looking very out-of-place. It is very tall and narrow. I thought maybe a school or church because of the area for a bell on top. It would be too small for a church I think, more like a one room school house. But it is built strange whatever it is. Any thoughts?

I don't do a lot of black and whites but this old building almost demanded it.

Back to my first love...

...which is barns and old buildings. Occasionally I find one I haven't posted a photo of yet.

Barn.. in black and white

"Attention, Safeway Shoppers..."

What a difference time and experience can make. I shot this mossy grocery cart in a slough in back of Safeway in Coos Bay, Oregon a couple of years ago. I've always loved the shot and stuck it in my archives. I just rediscovered it, and looking at it with knowledge gained from two or so years of photo editing experience I realized it was quite dull.



So I grabbed my handy, dandy photo editing tools and played with it some more and I couldn't believe the difference it made.



Then I had to try a black and white version.



Which do you prefer?

Needful Things - Microscope and Thread Spool

Another of the amazing objects displayed around this old building. I thought the spool sitting on this microscope was part of it at first. It blends well.

American Bald Eagle

I was in the right place at the right time again today. This beautiful wild eagle was sitting on this dead tree right next to the road. I snapped photos for about 15 minutes, hoping to catch him taking off but I finally had to leave and he was still sitting there. There was another eagle sitting across the road and they were calling to one another.

Just For A Laugh

Headed out of town. Don't have time to process a photo so, hopefully, this older one will make you smile. Back toorrow.
