When I arrived, the streets of Granville, Ohio were barricaded. The streets were busy in preparation for the 4th of July celebration as food vendors were filling the streets with the smell of their delights and the carnival rides were being prepped. It seems as if this horse is patiently waiting for the young boy or girl to sit astride and take a few turns around the carousel. What fun!
I am drawn to doors but in this image it the color red that calls out. I find doors with bright colors calling out my name and when they are tall and narrow, I stop to take some photos. However, the red of the doors, the red striped awning, the red sign in the window and the red lamps are what make this image have its power for me. I like the shadows across the sidewalk and the reflection in the window. When you add the customers in the window it all makes for a cool street scene.
One of my coworkers lives in the small New-England style Village of Granville, Ohio and suggested I visit the town sometime. Well today was the sometime. We had clear skies and cold temperatures so felt a drive over there was the order for the day. After having my car serviced I headed for Granville which is located about 15 miles from Columbus along Highway 161. The above image was taken on the main street of the older part of town. Just behind me is the intersection of Broadway and Main. Each corner of the intersection was a church. It reminded my of the fact this country was founded and settled with Christian roots.
