The Provident City Hotel

Shot this with a 24mm T/S handheld (I can hear the groans )

That is beautiful and I actually like that the sky was cloudy, really adds a good mood to your images

Cool! I love history. It's interesting that it wasn't even around long enough to have a cemetery, which is really unusual. I checked it out on Google Maps and it's hard to see any trace of the town other than the few structures on that main road.

I was impressed with how well taken care of the hotel and grounds are. I lived in the area north of Provident City for most of my teen years but never went there. I wasn't even sure where it was. For some reason I decided to try to find it yesterday. The first county road that I turned on took me to the hotel.

Nice subject. Very cool location. I am impressed by the handheld T/S.

Thanks Keith, it's really not that difficult to do. I just find something vertical in the viewfinder and make sure that it's vertical. I flubbed the tight door shot and had to use the lens correction filter though so it's not always easy to pull off. I really want to go back and see how the Linoff likes it.

When I see porches like that all I can think about is how much work they are to maintain.
