WEEKEND IN BLACK AND WHITE

On a recent excursion to one of my favorite places, I took the opportunity to snap some photos of a really old firetruck that was on display. I thought that black and white really made them pop. I hope you enjoy them.










Thanks so much for stopping by.  Enjoy your weekend!

  4. Beautiful photos. The kind of fire trucks we used mostly for parades when I was young. I don't remember many fires but you'd think there would have been more with the wood stoves. (?)
