This bell originally hung at the Ebenezer Methodist Church, which was built in 1838 and located about a mile from where it now sits next to this Methodist church in town. When the old church was torn down in the early 1980s, they placed the bell here as sort of an historical marker.

I use this bell as a test subject when shooting with my various cameras. That's why you see it so much.

The Star Spangled Banner

Oh, say! can you see by the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming;
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
Oh, say! does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

A lot of propane tanks being stored in a field near my town.

I developed this roll of film last night and it turned out real grainy. I had never used Ilford HP5+ film before, so I don't know if it's supposed to be this grainy or if it's because of how the film was stored. This film and four other rolls came with a camera I bought and the film was long expired, so it might be that. Or it might be that this film and developer combination doesnt work well together. Who knows? But the camera was broken when I bought it, so I was able to fix it and got it working properly. All in all, I guess I can't complain.
