Default A tour of small towns

I took a tour of small towns that I grew up in or around. Here's some of the treasures I found.







Thanks for looking

I think small towns and old buildings are the best treasures. Looks like you had a nice visit to the past. Thanks for sharing.

In the 2nd shot, love the blue sky with the clouds and the DOF. I can see people waiting for the train to come in to town in the old days.

Thanks Everyone for your kind comments. It was a great way to spend a day, however, a lot of the things I wanted to photograph were already gone or converted to something else.

Very nice pictures... I particularly like the second one... Something about trains and railroad tracks in general I guess. Here's to the small towns around us. Thanks for sharing these.
