Riggs Union Church, Boone County






A friend and I went out photographing on a very hot Memorial Day afternoon this year.  I didn't want to go far, so we stuck to Boone County and photographed some of the rural churches that I have either overlooked or given short shrift on previous outings.  The Riggs Union Church was a location that I have had on my list to return to since my first trip there back in 2003.  I wasn't disappointed.  The exterior has been refinished (i.e. vinyl siding), but the interior retains some authenticity.  This was photographed with my D700, a camera that despite its age knows what to do with subdued, interior light.

Storefront in Early Spring...Peabody, Kansas


We were driving back from a vacation in Hutchinson when I pulled off Highway 50 to drive through Peabody, Kansas.  It was a rewarding side-trip.  This is a vacant storefront in Peabody, just hours before an ice-storm hit southern Kansas.
