July morning

Greene County, Virginia 

One morning last week I drove out into the county to see how mid-summer looks in the foothills of the Blue Ridge. It rained the night before, cooling the temperatures but leaving the humidity high. Along the South River,  farmland slumbered in the morning mist and gray clouds hung over the mountains.

We are taking a short break this week. Be back Monday, August 3rd.

Antiques/Red door

Waverly, Virginia 

Antique stores have replaced the variety of businesses that lined main street in many once thriving small towns. The towns themselves, I suppose, are now antiques.  For those of an age to remember life before we scattered out on the highways lined with strip malls,  the loss of the small town is a source of some sadness. The red door made me smile though.

Thanks for reading Photography In Place. Have a colorful weekend.

Edinburg revisited

Edinburg, Virginia 

I posted a picture of this old building along the tracks in the small Shenandoah Valley town of Edinburg  a couple of weeks ago  (see here) in a wider view that included several other buildings and the mountains in the background. Usually I avoid posting alternate versions of the same subject, but I decided I like this tighter view as well.

Railroad tracks often pass through the most interesting part of town.
