The guys in front of this old store told me it was last open as a store in the late sixties. They were in a deep discussion on the weather...

Looking through the window of an antique store. A mix of old and new...
Marshall looks like the small town it is from across the river.
There are stacked stone walls everywhere here.
An old church sits on the hillside.
The new stage sits on the island park. A woman walked up and told me it only cost $70,000.
Marshall from across the way.
These bicylists were speeding along. Many come through touring on the weekends. I do love watching those mostly males pumping along. Eye candy indeed.
The local police station features this old car. On the side is a star titled Mayberry RFD.
Not many customers today.
This is the local weeky newspaper. The Sentinel News. Nice use of old boxcars....
Not only is it private but it has satelite TV.
This owner of the local junk store posed for me. I could not stop laughing at his antics...
This is downstream from Marshall and where the whitewater rafters get in for a ride downstream. None were getting in the clear cold water this day.
I guess no one lives in this Kudzu covered house. I did not knock on the door to see, however....
The water was too cold for wading but my feet went in to my knees. They went numb right away.
This old barn in the valley was a sight to see.
This one was still in use.
This folks must like isolation.
From the junk cars in front of this cellar like building, I could only decide this most have been a HillBilly Garage.....

And aren't photos worth a thousand words? So you did a lot of writing here today :)
Geezer, I am glad I can make you smile.
Janie, keep coming by and Iwill keep putting more up as I can.
Harry, I thought of you shooting some of these. You inspire me dear.

Beautiful. Great poems.
Great post too. Nature.
Thanks Mission. Much.
Nature is entertaining.
Nature is simply poems.
Ask Geezer94 to remain?
Ya gotta love thy neighbor.
Get satellite TV in outhouse.
Art, I thought of you shooting some of these. Soon I hope to put up some farms from here. And Geezers book rocks.
I too, take photographs when I can't seem to write. The trouble is, I'm sick of taking pictures of winter!! ~r
My fave is either the house or barns. I expect to take more soon. I could live 1000 years and not run out of things to shoot here.
I am sure much of this area looks alike.
I want everyone to see it through my eyes. I am now collecting pictures of old houses in various states of decay. A post coming on that as soon as I get enough of them.
rated with hugs
It is scenic as can be. More to follow in pictures of this beautiful state.
Laughing, much of this could be about anywhere in the south. Keep your eyes open riding around. You will see the same thing elsewhere.
Tink darlin', you are always welcome on my porch.
Trudge, I shot this in afternoon light coming over the mountainside.
Very happy to see ya here in these parts. come back again, ya hear....
But glad to see ya drop by here dear.
There is a really nice room here sitting empty.......
The best part for me is that it is walkable. The speed limit here is 20mph. Well enforced by the local officer friendlys. Also that everyone here waves at you. and not the middle finger. But a real wave. I wave right back too.
Here in CA, I usually take pics of places like Yosemite because besides a few gold rush spots, human constructs are too new to be very interesting.
Is the owner of the junk store wearing Levis or Wranglers?
Oh yes and FRed(tm) just screamed (Siamese do that) what camera did you use? If you don't tell me I'll lie to him or my life will be Hell on four legs.
And, my pics always take ages to add 'red_eye' - it's a gift I guess.
The river was behind my back in that photograph.
I got more to put up soon. But the spring weather keeps me outside today. It is too nice to sit inside right now. and has been. If you get a chance to move to this area, feel welcome. It is very scenic. I would love to see you shoot some here. Your pictures are outstanding!!
