full moon over a country road

Yesterday I drove to Sherman, a town about 30 miles north of here, initially to photograph some gravestones of distant relatives for my genealogical research. As is the case with a typical huge cemetery, it wasn’t that photogenic. My cohort and I spent most of our time prowling around the back sides of buildings in the old downtown area, and exploring an old abandoned grain elevator, where we found a lot of wonderful graffiti. I was mad at myself because I had the “wrong” lens on my camera. I was forced to change the way I was shooting, which was aggravating, since I’m out of practice. I didn’t shoot as many frames as I could have, and consequently, I’m not so happy with the results. Still, I think I can find one in ten that I like, which is a pretty good ratio.

This photo is from the side of an old railroad car.
