Frosty Stand, was photographed about three weeks ago during an afternoon thunderstorm in McGill, Nevada. The picture is framed by tall trees on the right, and on the far left, by the tilting pole from a street sign.
The picture is a sister, of sorts, for the Central Theater image in the previous post.
McGill is one of those towns that seems to have bypassed the sterility and standardization that’s got a grip on much of the rest of the country. It’s an easy place to like, for that reason.
No residents are visible in the picture, but hopefully their place has spoken for them.
I love all these, lonely buildings. The stop sign! And that bench! 🙂 I love how you’ve “framed” it too…and the two opposing/facing lights within that…I like how this image seems to open the more I look at it, if that makes any sense at all. Thank you!
…observations that are both detailed and original. Thanks much, Rose.
I like the absence of people. But there’s a certain kind of optimism with the big truck reflected in the window. A bit ominous too.
Nice comment–I was wondering if anyone would notice that truck on an image file this small.
I clicked on the bigger image – which shows it fairly well. It is true it’s hard to get a sense of anyone’s photograph on such a small scale. Such is the compromise of the interwebs:)
Love these colours against the grey – it’s almost like this Frosty stand has landed from the sky in a different time/place..!
I’m happy to read your comment because the colors against the grey is what attracted me in the first place.
It’s something I always love – grey does amazing things to colour doesn’t it..btw – I have just “visited” this place on Google maps! Was really fascinated by your photographs and wanted to see – saw this exact building, amazing..seems so atmospheric. Oh how I wish I could jump into the map with my camera…!
that’s really cool!
