Some things are WBN,some are pristine condition.I liked the contrast of the well-taken- care-of & the WBN.

Glad to see recent postings in this great thread. Keep shooting! :thumbsup:

I love this thread. There is so much beauty in all things weathered. And sadness.

Here's a little hotel in a neighboring town. We peeked in the windows and it was like time had stopped with drinks still on the bar.
