Tiny Hamlet of Harborton (two photos) / by Dave Hileman

On the way back from a weekend of new friends and photography in Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge, I followed a road west of the main road that led to this tiny town in Virginia’s Eastern Shore called Harborton. It was clearly named for the nice, large harbor that gave easy access to the Chesapeake Bay. There were a couple of dozen houses, a score of piers and docks and a very large parking lot that indicated there were a lot of boats launched here doing the summer. Pretty place. I shot this crab/oyster shack in the early afternoon. I have a photograph of an old post office I will post later. Lots of bird photos so, we all know that means the long-awaited and eagerly anticipated Bird Week X.

If you are a fan of B&W I think this image lends itself to that look, added here with a wash of antique color in ON1
