Last week I took a road trip to Charleston, South Carolina to see the grandchildren. Traveling south at this time of year is a bit like going back in time to the weather we experienced here in Virginia four weeks ago. The trees still had some color too.
On the way back, I stopped for lunch in Selma, North Carolina. Selma is a railroad town that grew up around the North Carolina Railroad in the 1860s. Mitchener Station was built in 1855 and is thought to be the oldest surviving train station in North Carolina.
The outskirts of Selma are littered with fast food restaurants and the kind of growth that is common along Interstate 95. But the town itself is well preserved and has a nice "small town" feel. For an ongoing photographic journal of the town, visit Selma Daily Photo.
The day was cool but not uncomfortable and walking around town for a few minutes made a nice break from driving. These pictures of the station were made with the Pentax K10D. I also shot some black and white film with the Pentax MX but haven't finished the roll yet. After eating in Selma, I drove straight through, and got home in Virginia just after dark.
