Rock Island Caboose

Miz Dee and I took off for parts south last Friday for a day of thrift shopping and sketching. We did lots more thrift shopping than sketching but we both managed a sketch of this Rock Island caboose in Bernice, Louisiana.

Back Alley by the Train Station

Sketching with Miz Dee in the back alley by the train station. This old train car has been converted to a conference room I think. I've never seen anyone in there but the lights are always on.

Loved the tangle of wires in the electric meter loops and the gas meters jutting out at odd angles. I find lots of interesting things to eyeball in back alleys. Industrial Grunge - I likes it.

It was hot, hot, hot, even in the shade. We started around 9:00 am and by 11:30 by head was about to explode from the heat. We gave up on sketching and went to lunch...Italian Paninis. Yum!
