Some days back, san nakji requested that readers of his blog post pictures of their home town. This is a beginning response to that request. All pictures below were taken from within a couple blocks of where I live showing mostly some of the older portion of Souderton, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania.
This view was taken in the evening from near my apartment.
This building used to be a feed mill but was converted into apartments.
A view of the back side of some houses
A view along Main Street
Hillside Cemetery with a view of some apartments and a portion of the town in the background
That is such a greta idea...showing pictures of your environment. I am gonna do it too. Gives you the feeling like you know the person of a particular blog better! Greta idea!
What is the population of your town, Tim? This would be such a perfect, doable "project" for the small town where I grew up in Michigan. But for here in Atlanta, or my suburb town, it would be harder. Well, now that I said it, I could do this of our small suburb town, which is Cumming. Hmmm. A nice project indeed. I love the age of your buildings there. It's like you can tell what part of the country you live in by the buildings alone.
I really loved the pictures of your city, one day I hope I have the chance to visit a city like that. I'm also here to thank you about the message and about your nice way with me, really thank you Tim. Mila
Thanks, minka. I'll look forward to seeing pictures of your environment. It also helped me to notice more of my town than I normally do.
Hi, ginnie. In 2004 the population of Souderton was only 6,735. However, there is another town of Telford right on its border with a 2004 population of 4,645. So, yes, still a small town. But even for a large city, you could just pick a small neighborhood or a few adjoining neighborhoods. Or as san nakji did, he went to the top of a tall skyscraper and took pictures in every direction.
Thanks, mila. Always a pleasure to hear from and communicate with you. It is a two way blessing.
Thanks, abandoned in Pasadena. I enjoy living here, too.
That's a cool town. I love the use of brick. I really think this gives everyone a chance to see more into someone else's world which is great. Thank you so much Tim.
Thanks, san nakji. But remember the whole town doesn't look like this. But it does reflect the immediate blocks around me. Thanks for suggesting the idea.
My main blog: Ramblings generally focuses on telling a story via photography and words. These stories generally center around family, nature, and church although sometimes just about life in general. I also have a blog entitled Fingerprints. I post less frequently in Fingerprints. It serves as a catch all of anything that does not go in my Ramblings blog including memes, quizzes, and reports on books and movies.
The road awaits
Time doesn't
The road beckons
Time steps forward
Will we move
In step with time?
Will we step forward
Shaping our time?
Will we take time
To see the present?
Will we explore the past
And understand our heritage?
Will we laugh?
Will we wonder?
Will we touch?
Will we feel?
Time flies on
We have choices
Shall we go fast?
Shall we go slow?
We shall go forward
But we will choose the pace
We may dance with all our heart
Or bathe ourselves in a setting sun
