Hamlet Depot Nocturne

The ex-Seaboard Depot at Hamlet, North Carolina is one of my favorite places to visit and to photograph. The classic depot was built in 1906 and was moved across the tracks and restored in the mid 2000's. Used today as the local Amtrak depot and to house the City's railroad museum the depot provides plenty of photographic opprotunities.

This photo was taken at dusk on a moody evening as the depot sits waiting for the next train to arrive later that night.

Peeling paint - TuesDecay

One of the photography daily themes I've been enjoying on Google+  is #TuesDecay which highlights photography of the world slowly returning to dust around us.  Be sure to search for other great #TuesDecay shots.

My #TuesDecay shot for the day is from Society Circle, South Carolina is an detail from the old hardware/general store.

Relaxing in Retirement

Old millstones relax in retirement at Mabry Mill, Virginia on the Blue Ridge Parkway on a fall day.

As you drive along the back roads of the South, you'll find old millstones resting in front yards and at historical sites.

The small local grain mill used to be one of the centers of the community, much like the general store. They've been replaced by large commerical operations and mostly have been abandoned. Luckily a few, like Mabry Mill have been preserved and can be enjoyed today.

Mabry Mill, Virginia

Fall on the Blue Ridge Parkway is a magical time for capturing images of changing colors, but it is always a great place always to capture a black & white image.

Mabry Mill is one of the most photographed locations on the Blue Ridge Parkway.
