Strafford Station

The day was hot, but I found a shady spot that provided the perfect viewpoint. No cars would park in front, and I readied myself for an easy day of painting. I never counted on the black ants that crawled up my paintleg, into my shoes, and across my arms and chest.

I endured the day, and 5-1/2 hours later, the station was completed, complete with sun and shadows that emerged toward 3:30 p.m.
