Questions

St. Catherine's on Old Carpenter Road
Photograph by Tom Atwood
Sometimes a photograph is like a mystery novel. Except there's no reading involved. But a photograph, like this one on Old Carpenter Road, often poses questions. For instance, why is there a wrought-iron fence around this empty field? Why is it untended, abandoned? The rows of cypress trees suggest elaborate landscaping - for what? Is there something over the hill? A house? A farm? Unlike a good mystery novel, though, this photo offers no answers. You might Google it. (One hint: look for "St. Catherine.")
