Boot
Canon R100 28mm RF lens Sometimes an image just presents itself which is why I always try to have a "camera" camera with me. There was something incongruous about a single boot just laying in an empty parking lot, so I shot it.Boot.JPG

Zingo's
@shadowsports mentioned in person that I present a lot of images of Bakersfield and that true because (1) I live there, (2) traveling nonstop is expensive, and (3) I've found a lot to discover. Zingo's is a local institution dating back to 1965 when ...
