Seen on a "rails to trails" path. This work was done back when it was "rails."

The semi-famous Pippo's Hardware ghost sign in Whitehall, New York. The building was constructed in the 1870s, Pippo's hasn't been around for decades and the building has likely been vacant since at least the late-1990s.

This is a failed exposure. Shot Eastman Kodak Vision2 5218 500t at EI / ISO 800 and it was not very successful. Underexposed, overdeveloped fun. Evanston, Wyoming Hardware Store

The Davenport Hotel is a hotel located in Spokane, Washington. Commissioned by a group of Spokane businessmen, the hotel is named after Louis Davenport, its first proprietor and overseer of the project. Architect Kirtland Cutter designed the building in 1914. The Davenport Hotel was the first hotel in the United States with air conditioning, a central vacuum system, pipe organ, and dividing doors in the ballrooms. It is also the place at which the first Crab Louis (named after Louis Davenport) was created and served. The hotel is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. -Wiki

A closer view of the famous Pippo's Hardware ghost sign in Whitehall, New York. Compare to a 2014 photo to see how much it faded in eight years.

Tried to repair the leaky bellows my GS645 came with. Let's just say it didn't quite work. :D

Had to bite the bullet and replace the bellows, which fortunately turned out to be much simpler than I thought.

It's a week before tomb-sweeping day, and the hardware store in Honglu Jie has a selection of grave goods for sale alongside its normal merchandise. Loco No.3 passes with empties for Hongluchang.

This is a one of a kind peg shelf made of antique architectural salvedge and vintage hardware.

From the parts drawers, bins, and bottles in the shop. I'll save anyone the count; there are 74 pieces.

A short trip to Castle Donington, and with 20 minutes to kill, had a wander around with my camera.
