Normally I will post on Sunday, but I have this ready today. Week of March 4-March 11. Nothing super special. I had two runners up that actually might be more interesting, but in each case when I got home and at looked at the pics I realized I had missed the mark. Just missed the mark. I analyzed each to figure out why and learned something. Well, that is why I am doing this right? To practice and to learn. So it was disappointing but enlightening.
And I have another pic that I probably like better than this one, which I will show later as a PESO. So I feel this is just a workman like, er workwoman, like shot. But I do like the colors and the implied commentary on small town life. I visited Port Costa, the smallest town in Contra Costa County. Small as in the population seems to be about 150 people. Way, way back when it was a thriving port town (Carquinez Straight), but it hasn't been a port for a long time. Definitely a one horse town: one small main street, about six crumbling buildings, and only two really used -- for restaurants. And it is off the beaten track and a bit hard to get to. The town's Post Office has a small room one can go into to buy stamps, but they don't seem to be open the usual PO hours. It is in a warehouse (built 1886, first fireproof building in the county) that once stored wheat for shipping. But the PO also appears to have been there a long time. However, its PO boxes are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. :-) http://members.aol.com/eactivist/PAWS/pages/PAWMarch5.htm Comments welcome.
