I arrived late in the day as one of my last stops during my October 2022 road trip. I actually didn’t think I was going to be able to photograph it. The daylight as draining fast but I was able to get a few good photos.
Once I was done there, I headed over to the Granville public library to upload and save all the images I had taken for the day. I’ve learned that saving my images at the end of the day is a good idea.
