I love historic buildings so I had to photograph this quaint chapel located near the beach in Jacksonville, Florida. It was built in 1887 in Pablo Beach and was relocated several times before being moved to its current location in 2012.

The Groveton bridge was built over the Ammonoosue River in 1852 by Captain Charles Richardson and his son. To me it look like a place for a wedding.

The Fisher Railroad bridge is located in Wolcott, Vermont. It was built in 1908 and carried the St. Johnsbury & Lamoille County Railroad over the Lamoille River while it was in use. It is one of two Railroad bridges in Vermont.

It was raining so hard when I shot this picture that you can see the raindrops if you look closely.

The Stark Covered Bridge spans the Upper Ammonoosuc River and dates back to 1857 or 1862. It is one of my favorite bridges in New Hampshire.

The day my brother I chose to shoot the covered bridges of New Hampshire, it rained all day. Not to be deterred, we decided to shoot anyway. It was that day I learned that some of the best pictures are taken in the worst of times. All the rain provided a wet pavement that reflected the Stark Union Church which was built in 1853.

In Brussels I found the “perfect pharmacy”, a Belgian chocolate store, with a window full of vitamin C! This will lift your spirits and satisfy your chocolate cravings in a hurry. I need to go refill my prescription!

Small Hilltop Chapel with a Bright Light

This small hilltop chapel has a bright light. I ran across it while driving on the Trans-Canada Highway several years ago. I was first attracted to it’s architectural design but now its position and light.

“You are the light of the world.
A town built on a hill cannot be hidden.”

John Geist & Sons Forges
John Geist & Sons Forges

For years this building housed the John Geist & Sons Forges. But as long I could remember a lawn mower repair service was there. Whenever I drove by, I would see old and relatively lawn mowers of every make and type lining along the sidewalk.

One evening I passed by and the lawnmowers were gone. The sidewalk was bare. The doors were locked and the windows were shut. The business was closed. Not just for the night, but for good. The realtor’s sign announced that the building was up for sale.

I just had to take a picture. Why? The golden hues of the setting sun across the red bricks signaled the end of a day, and the close of a business. Two generations made a living here, what will the next owner do here?
