This is a view of the outside passageway at the Barstow, CA train depot. It is (or was?) the site of one of the Harvey House restaurants that Fred Harvey built at railroad stations throughout the southwest from 1876 to 1901 when he died. The company continued, and had 84 restaurants at its peak. I liked the architectural details, light and shadows. 2/8/20 Judith Sparhawk
I really liked the look of this barn when I drove past, so I made one of my famous U-turns to go back and shoot it. I really liked the look of the flowers spilling out of the side windows. This was in Washington, down the grade from Bellingham. This was way back in film days. Years later, after going digital, I went back to shoot it again, and it was gone! It was a good lesson--shoot it while you can! So I later digitized the negatives and reworked them. 3/19/21 www.sparhawkphotography.com
A view of one of the outdoor corridors at Hsi Lai Temple in Hacienda Heights, California. There were so many wonderful things to shoot (don't worry, I won't show them all!). I loved all the colors and intricate details of the architecture. 12/3/20 My website: www.sparhawkphotography.com
