Photo a Day project. 3/365
Here is a perfect example of why I am a fan of providing a description or narrative with a photo: Someone looks at this and thinks, "O.K. VR, ANOTHER (neon) sign. Yawn. No. This image will never have to worry about competing for space on a museum wall. But, the story behind it is semi-interesting. Wanna'hearithereitgoes:
There was a snowstorm last night. About 5 or 6 inches here, in the central region of the People's Republic of New Jersey. Not a lot of snow. However, the Governor declared a state of emergency, schools were closed, and my workplace was closed. The temperature was not expected to get above about 15 degrees F today, and I think it was the combination of the cold and the snow that caused worry. No complaints from me. So far, so good.
It is not uncommon for me to stay in ALL day, if I do not have to work. However, I love bookstores, and I did want to browse the selections at Barnes & Noble. I did not get motivated to leave home until about 4:30pm. Headed to the bookstore (which is located in this mall), and could see that, despite the fact that the mall was open for business, the bookstore was closed. I had my camera, because I did want a shot of this sign at the "magic hour". Took this, turned around and headed home (disappointed that the bookstore was closed).
But, hey, if my workplace was closed, I guess I can't complain that the bookstore was closed. I'm sure their employees were just as happy to have a day off as I was.
Womp. Womp.
