On this day I decided to drive around town through some of our more historical districts to see what I could find to photograph. I was out of ideas, but I wasn't going to let that stop me from shooting for the day. I came across quite a few very interesting things to shoot that day, it was well worth the trip. This was one of my favorites though. A bright pink, very small building off of the side of the road. The photograph does not exaggerate the color of the building, it really was this bright pink color! It was winter time, cloudy, hazy, gloomy, and cold outside. You can see the trees have no leaves.
