home town seeing
After having several posts last month that were heavy with thought provoking questions, I felt including a few photos that I have taken around my hometown of Greensburg, PA would be a respite from my normal pensive rhetoric of endeavoring to figure out this thing we call architecture. How about if we just enjoy a few nice photos today. What do you think? Do you have any interesting shots of your hometown that tell a story?
