Lower Higgins Creek - part deux

I went back to Lower Higgins Creek south of Erwin this afternoon, hoping to hike to the upper falls ... but ... the creek was up so much I couldn't make it across anywhere without getting wet, not today.

So on the way back to the truck I was looking for something to shoot. this was all I got ... maybe next time.

RayGo 60

This piece of construction equipment is stashed in the back of the parking lot across the street from the Sulphur Springs Store.

It's a compactor/bulldozer thingy.

When I took the bracket of three pictures I was really expecting to get a very 'HDR-looking" result once Photomatix has had it's way with the input pictures. I was definitely surprised with the rather unremarkable result. I'm still trying to figure out what I can do in the camera to assure a bracket of pictures that will make a good HDR result. it's a good thing that digital pics are free, eh?

Sulphur Springs Store

Here's a picture of another old building that I pass by on my way to work. It's another nice old building that deserves to have it's picture taken.

I'm sure that the building has an official name, but I don't know what name is, and since it is located in beautiful downtown Sulphur Springs, I have dubbed it the Sulphur Springs Store.
