Dora Services 2

Nice to see this legacy building (originally Dora Services in its heyday in the 40’s) at the main entry to the town of Willingdon, Alberta, Canada, appears to have seen some change since my last photo in 2013. Check out the other version in this gallery. We’ll see how it evolves in the coming years.

Old and New

The morning sidelight from the rising sun really brought out the texture on the vintage barn near Oberlin, Colorado. The weather texture with modern weather station at the roof peak was a neat piece of contrast.

Bales at Sunrise

Sun coming up on the Bailey farm near Oberlin, Kansas. it was a happy accident the family dog wandered into the scene but I like the element that adds.

The Road To The Forgotten

Yah that title is me trying to be funny. A turn or bend on an Alberta rural road is rare - but the scenery is elegant in its own way Location: 53°49'27.6" N 111°57'37.799" W
