No flowers!

The front of the National Guard Armory in Carbondale.

Clare & I drove by this building a couple days ago and I thought the front entrance area looked pretty cool (especially since the building received a fresh coat of paint in the last few years). I guess one of the differences between semi-serious photographers and not-so-serious photographers is that some of us will actually go back to these places to get the shot. In this case, parking was kind of a hassle, but I was determined (especially since I probably had nothing else for today!). For this late-in-the-day shot, I was lucky to get some cool shadows.

Boy I bet that would be a sobering walk through that place. It looks gorgeous though, and what a tribute.
