41: Architectural Detail -- Old Style

Saturday, up before dawn, thinking sun rise photography. Packed my gear, headed to the truck, clouds, complete cloud cover, no sunrise today. A short while later I noticed the lighting was bright but no shadows, what we used to call cloudy-bright. Remembering my youth, downtown was always hopping on Saturday morning. The cloud cover was keeping the temperature down. This was going to be a great day shooting street. I got downtown and nothing, not a soul in sight. What happened to everyone going to town on Saturday? I decided to go ahead and take my walk while it was cool and I was there, then I noticed it.

The Blacksmith made Hitching Ring in the Alley


It brought back memories of my childhood, we had a hitching post on our property line right by the street. Well all I can say is, if the good old days ever come back, we are ready with a place down town to tie your horse. As a side note I wanted to show it and the door it served but someway used good engineering practice. The hitching ring was located far enough down the wall so the horse’s pa-toot did not block the door.
