Monday, January 14th, 2008: Sprouts at Dusk

I stopped off on my way home from work today just as the sun was getting fully set. I tried to get some shots of the falls but it was a bit too dark. As I walked through town, the images of the people inside the shops mezmorized me… I don’t think I have the right equipment to handle that type of shot with low light – but I think this shot captures what caught my eye. It was the contrast between the warm inside against the dark and cold stone exterior.

Wednesday, January 2nd, 2008: Continental Under Construction

Back to work.

Updated…

I found some interesting information on the Yardley, PA Wikipedia article related to the Continental Tavern that I thought I would share…

During the American Civil War, Yardley was a station for the Underground Railroad, an escape route for slaves. Known hiding places were under the eaves of the Continental Hotel (now the Continental Tavern), in bins of warehouses on the Delaware Canal (completed in 1862), and at the General Store (now Worthington Insurance). At Lakeside, the yellow house facing Lake Afton on N. Main St., one brick-walled cellar room is also thought to have been a hiding place.
