Luray, VA
This farmers’ cooperative was formed in 1921. I decided to show it in black-and-white to give it a vintage feel, although the vehicles tell us that this is a contemporary view.
Across the parking lot is a store called the Hawksbill Trading Company, named for Hawksbill Creek. We can see the reflection of the farm co-op in the window.
The front of the store has a loading area where farmers can pick up bags of seed or feed or whatever they need. (Ha, that sounds like a slogan, doesn’t it?)
Your photo works well in black and white (and I love the reflection in the store-front below!)
ReplyDeleteThe farmer’s cooperative looks very much like a feed mill here where I buy my bird seed.
ReplyDelete...they have always been a part of rural life.
ReplyDeletetrès belle image. Oui cela un côté vintage.
ReplyDeleteIn the shadow of Hawksbill Mountain perhaps?
ReplyDeleteIt’s along Hawksbill Creek, which I assume flows down from the mountain.
DeleteThat really looks good in black and white, and I do like your reflection shot too.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Nice shots. The bottom photo reminds me of a building I saw in Texas.
