Usually, winter weather arrives in November. But, here it is approaching mid December, and the weather is just turning cold. Cold enough to threaten snow. Maybe tonight.

Sunrise, December 6th
The horizon begins to lighten with a pinkish hue of sunrise,
While the garbage truck rolls through the neighborhood with flashing lights.

Early morning fog on Zoar Road
Cold air over warmer ground usually produces fog and photo opportunities. Having recently downloading Instagram on my cell phone, I thought I’d start playing with it. This is one of the first images. Click on the photo to visit my account.
See you on the highway.

Rural monuments in a small town
All across the countryside are monuments to an agricultural industry and lifestyle. For many small towns, the grain elevator was a center of activity, a gathering place for farmers to bring their grain and socialize with others.
Although most of these grain elevators are still in use, they look old and show signs of deterioration, for they are not large enough for today’s big agribusinesses.

Abandoned barn on SR 350
The barn has seen better days. At some point in its history, someone decided it was not worth repairing or the upkeep. The structure was left to face on its own, the years of seasonal changes, stormy weather and all that mother nature could throw at it.
How long will it be before one very stiff, gale force wind will topple it leaving it in a pile of broken timbers and lumber? How long before the roof caves in? One year? Ten?
