Today I started packing for a new destination. The year and a half that I have been here has been positive. Pennsylvania is a beautiful state. The people for the most part are very nice, and I can say that I met some wonderful people here and even met a few whom I would lable as good friends. I know I will miss this place. I know of a thousand pictures I took in my mind but never had the opportunity to get. Perhaps one day I can return and give more time to the camera and the beauty, that is Pennsylvania.

This one, a view from a mountain top golf course. Near Tunkhannock, PA.

Sometimes I guess you just get lucky. I had stopped with a friend of mine to take a picture of the barn in the background when this gentleman and his dog walked up. Not being one to miss an opportunity, I requested a shot of he and his best friend. They obliged in spades. Around Mehoopany, PA.

There are too many scenes like this in Pennsylvania to even count. I suppose an overdone theme by another name is still just as overdone.

Part of the abandoned Rail Road series. Building was erected in 1915 in the side of a mountain. A neo classic design in the middle of nowhere, just this side of Voidville, PA.

New territory for me now. Have been in Pennsylvania for past year. Havent taken any shots in as long. Shooting 4×5 now. Always slow and deliberate. Like me I suppose.

This one from an abandoned depot. As always my eye is drawn to the old and tired.

Found myself on a backroad one day near Arnaudville, Louisiana. This old store at the crossroads had a story to tell. I listened.

Well this is the one that got me kicked out of the bar. Seems the bouncer didnt like the bartender on the bar posing for my camera. I never did understand why he didnt kick her out and let me bartend.  Then again there are lots of things I dont understand. Needless to say, had she not been wearing white rubber shrimp boots……I would have never asked.
