Tri-State Relics
Here are a few photos from the backroads of Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana. I like to focus on rust and peeling paint--and on the way they catch the sunlight. I'll be adding more to this gallery soon!

Please don't confuse "relic" with "useless." I'm pretty sure this still works, but I do like the signs of age. (There's a beaten-up gravity wagon over on the Fall 2012 page, too.)

This old gas station is one of my favorite places to photograph. Notice the slant of light in the background. There is a photo on the Contact Me page with different lighting, and in black-and-white. There's another pump to the right. I may post some variants of this scene soon.
I return to this scene often. There are small trees growing there now. To see more recent pictures of this scene, visit my Facebook galleries!

I call this one "Closing Hymn." I had heard this church was going to be knocked down, but it has since been restored and hosts weddings! That is great! I really like the way the sunlight plays on the windows in the morning. There are other windows around the corner to the left which really catch the evening sunlight.
