White Streets & High Prices!

Is it too early to start posting snow storm pictures from previous years? :) Thinking back to the very first blog post, I started with a snow picture of storm Agatha in February of this year!

Here is one taken a couple years back in 2005 as a town plow truck pushes it's way through the snow covered streets on Rt. 44 in Putnam, CT. I'm not in the middle of the street but shooting through my vehicle's windshield. No, I wasn't driving! You can't always be in the optimal position when you think of a good shot so you do what you can, and quickly, to capture something.

Its very interesting to take town pictures as well because when you look back on them a few years from now, the scenery will reveal a lot of history in them. For instance, take a look at this picture. This is a cropped picture from a larger town view but this shows how much gas prices were back in 2005! And we thought gas was expensive then! WOW.

Keep your pictures and look at them when you have the time. If they're on CD or DVD backup or sitting on an external hard drive, pop them in or connect the device and start browsing! You never know what historical treasures you have.
