I absolutely love barber poles. It is one of the many things I miss from the years that I wish would come back. Businesses use to spend so much effort on their signs, but I feel that businesses just get a standard sign and move on. Barber poles just have a feeling of the 'old days', which is some cases is good. I really do need to explore Charleston more now that I live closer to it. I hope to have more pictures from there soon.
Capturing pictures of insects is one of the most challenging subjects that I have attempted to capture. I will say that it takes a lot of patience and luck to capture a clear image of an insect. There is of course some skill involved and knowing the technicals about capturing them, but after the technicals, you just have to keep your eyes open and hope it doesn't run away when I get close. I hope you enjoy this.
I captured a picture of these tracks in Conway, South Carolina a few years ago. There are many train tracks in the area, but sometimes finding a long stretch of straight tracks is difficult. I really do love taking pictures of them and would love to explore more and find more of them.
