The Gazebo

A picture from the first roll of film I ever ran through the Kodak Brownie Holiday 127 camera I inherited from my Grandmother Wright.

This gazebo sits across from the Carmi Illinois Library in a small park. During the summer months, they hold concerts in it. It was my intention to go here and photograph a bronze statue that stands in front of the gazebo, but an automobile accident just a day or two before had destroyed the statue. So, I settled for the gazebo by itself. Clouds were starting to roll in and less than 20 minutes later, a powerful thunderstorm hit.
