It was a cold day here in Brookville, Ohio yesterday but I decided it was time to get out and take some photos from the car. I used the new f/1.2 X100S Fujifilm, fixed focus, camera and shot through the glass windscreen or the driver's side window. These are country roads and this one is going towards a limestone cave where they used to mine limestone. When I was a kid, I worked there, filling paper bags with limestone almost as fine as talcum powder. I had to wear a face mask and the limestone would get between your clothes and skin and burn it so the idea was to seal off all your skin or get burned. Anyway, this is one of the photos that I took and selected it and this composition as the sign tells us to stop but the sign is there and the road is straight ahead or you could turn right and be out of the area in no time. I went on and passed the locked gates to the mine and remembered how I used to work filling railroad freight cars with bags of limestone.

This is a beautiful place to drive in the wilds of this part of Ohio. It is on the road to the old limestone quarry.
