A Window in Strasburg; A Glimpse of Delaplane.

Willy Nilly Friday / Weekend Reflection.
 

MuralWaiting at a stop light, I glanced at a window and saw what almost looks like two people peering out. It's actually a reflection of part of a mural by Alice Mizrachi, which I shared in 2016. 

Tom has also shared some of her work. It has similarities to this painting.

Let's cross the Blue Ridge and visit Delaplane. The town itself is tiny but historic. The area around it has beautiful farms and a few popular wineries. 
Black and White Weekend

The post office is in an old frame building. It's near the railroad where Stonewall Jackson's troops boarded a train to get to Manassas in time to fight in a now-famous Civil War battle. (See my Civil War Field Trip site with a Romney to Delaplane tour. Oh, I just got Professor Poland's new book on John Brown!)

Skywatch: The next scene shows a vineyard with fields and hills behind it. The final shot is a boarded-up building in Delaplane.

    Great photos! The one with the mural reflection is a little creepy, perfect for Halloween!

    I had to enlarge the post office pic to see the pretty painting (like an impressionistic water color) over the porch. My surprise was finding the lettering of US Post Office all blurry!

    Great series! I love the sky in your black and white, and the single open umbrella behind the closed ones.
