This afternoon, I went to the “Open Portfolio” event* at the Vermont Center for Photography.
As is often my habit when headed to Brattleboro, I meandered in that direction rather than taking the direct route.
Today, my meander took me through, among other places, Weathersfield Center, Vermont; a place that I had not visited before. The sum total of Weathersfield Center (other than a few houses) is an unusual (in that it is made of brick) and stately meeting house with a marble** (of course…this is Vermont after all!) Civil War memorial out front.
It was a cold and dreary day with intermittent snow showers as I drove…Perfect conditions for making photographs with my camera obscura.

* At these bimonthly events, folks gather to share photographs and garner feedback about them.
** Geology note… the Connecticut River (the border between Vermont and New Hampshire) valley is the boundary of two tectonic plates. The Vermont side was in geologically recent times a seabed and thus Vermont is know for its marble, a metamorphic rock formed from the sedimentary rock, sandstone. On the New Hampshire side, the rocks are much older and New Hampshire is known for its granite, an igneous rock.
Camera Obscura nailed it! So many quaint towns and so little time. . .
