Albion Traffic Signal
31 October 2014 -- 304/365
Lincoln, Rhode Island
For today's photo, I decided to visit the historic village of Albion in Lincoln, RI. The intersection of Main Street and School Street is still home to the oldest traffic signal in the state. This flashing red and amber light dates to 1932. What's interesting is that it's built on top of an old public well. Now, that does pique my curiosity, so I'll now be in search of any 19th century photos of the area showing the well. I'd love to see how it blended into the foot, horse, and carriage traffic.
Post processing started with a classic filter in Topaz B&W FX. I adjusted color sensitivity sliders, adaptive exposure, regions, contrast, boost black, boost white, and protect highlights. A levels adjustment was added in PSE.
