Abandoned

Finishing up with Washington/Northern Virginia with this old house just outside of Middleburg.

Urban poetry

I was amused by this array of traffic lights in Middleburg, Virginia.

It's not really urban, though apparently the town planners disagree, foreseeing a future when there might be multiple lanes of traffic on the main street. Which is not currently the case, and from what I could see, even on a pretty Easter afternoon when the shops and sidewalks were crowded, one light in each direction would have sufficed.

Easter pastoral

It turned out that I could eat again after all. Yesterday we had a late brunch in Fairfax, then spent the afternoon driving through the countryside of Northern Virginia.

How ridiculously beautiful is this? It was just a perfect day -- we sang Take Me Home, Country Roads in the car, stopping for the occasional photo, wandered through village streets ducking in and out of little shops, and had tea in Georgetown instead of dinner.
