Scott and England

Last weekend my friend John had to run an errand in Scott, so I was happy to tag along. The flat and swampy lands around Scott and England contain a plethora of neat things to point the camera at, including several old and abandoned churches. This one, south of Scott, was flanked by two overgrown bushes. The front door was guarded by thick clouds of wasps, so I didn’t dare step any closer.

The church is surrounded by fields, which were being tilled for planting (guess the rainy Spring delayed them getting the fields ready?).

We drove to the small town of England, which has a population of about 2,800 (people, not mosquitoes). In the center of town was this vacant lot, which still retained a few hints of the building that used to stand here. This stretch of tile remains, sitting in the shade below a faded blue wall.

We stopped and tried to get a few shots of the England skyline - these huge elevators that tower over a small fishing lake.

And one last shot – on the way back home we passed by this car that was slowly being consumed by weeds (it was parked on the edge of a salvage yard).
