Another perfect photograph in New Concord, Ohio during my October 2022 road trip. What you don’t see is the gas station across the street. It was quit busy and I had a small audience watching me as I tried to film the show video clips I take for the front of the buildings. Fun times!

As I was visiting this building a man observed me trying to crawl into the bushes to get a photograph of the cornerstone. However, this man did not know what I was doing or why I was there.

Once we started chatting, I learned that he is the postmaster for this building. I politely explained what I was doing and that I wanted a clear photo of the cornerstone. He said to come back in three or four weeks as he was going to have the bushes taken out. Dang! I’m on my road trip today and may not get a chance soon to revisit. But at least I know the bushes will be gone the next time I do visit.

Always tricky when the sun sets off to the side and behind the building.
