Our Town

 Steve and I drove home through the snow one evening. We were going home after dinner out with friends. It wasn't late, maybe 8:30pm, but because of the snow there were no other cars on the road at all. The darkness, the gentle snowfall, and the deserted roads made it very peaceful. As we approached town, we remembered that we wanted to photograph the Christmas lights in the snow, if we should ever get any snow. And here we were! We parked at the top of Main Street and got out of the car with my dated phone camera. We would certainly not be creating any art but we would capture a memory. It was so quiet and peaceful standing there in the middle of the road. 

Many local artists have painted Fincastle, Virginia from all different angles. From church steeples, to Main Street Festivals, to the Christmas lights. Ed Bordett, Brett Lague, Sarah Meadows, and Mark Woodie are a few. Here is my cell phone photograph of our little Main Street in the snow. I love the memory of that evening, standing in the middle of Fincastle, under the Christmas lights in the snow.
