Not sure what happened here. No rain. No snow. No ice. This was behind a gas station too. #ruralstreetphotography #rural #streetphotography #street #bnw #photography #blackandwhitephotography #troymissouri #missouri

"backseat driver" Stumbled on this scene in downtown St. Louis a while back on a photo walk with my Daughter. Not sure where the actual driver went. #photography #street #streetphotography #bnw #blackandwhitephotography #olympus #saintlouis #blackandwhite #dogphotography #dog

"Garage Work" My tools have performed many brake jobs, oil changes, etc. Some new, some very old. The lessons learned from my grandpa continue to help my very own children now. #bnw #blackandwhite #photography #blackandwhitephotography #nikon #sigma #40mm

I drive by this old milking barn every evening on my way to work. Long since any cows have been inside it was used as a storage shed and then likely just left to rot. #ruralstreetphotography #rural #street #streetphotography #bnw #blackandwhite #blackandwhitephotography #nikon #sigma #40mm

I went to a Cardinals game the other day. I challenged myself to only shoot from my seat. One camera. One lens. One seat. Zero color. #blackandwhite #blackandwhitephotography #photography #saintlouis #cardinals #nikon #sigma #stlouis #missouri #40mm #bnw #stlouiscardinals #buschstadium

The view from Frenchman's bluff in Lincoln county Missouri. The Quiver river directly below the bluff flows from west to east all the way through Lincoln county where it dumps into the Mississippi River. #photography #blackandwhitephotography #bnw #blackandwhite #landscapephotography #nikon #14mm

From 1934-46 Company 3771 of the Civilian Conservation Corps developed what is now called Cuivre River state park. This small structure and the water tower in the trees behind it are some of what's left. #blackandwhitephotography #bnw #blackandwhite #nikon #14mm #wideangle #rural #missouri

The view from Clingman's dome (Kuwohi), 6644 ft. The highest point in the Great Smoky Mountains and the third highest peak east of the Mississippi River. #photography #landscapephotography #blackandwhitephotography #bnw #landscape #blackandwhite #blackandwhite #travel #olympus #omd

This oddly placed yard hydrant caught my eye walking down the street. I'm guessing at one time there was a house here. #ruralstreetphotography #rural #street #streetphotography #bnw #blackandwhite #blackandwhitephotography #nikon #sigma #40mm

Sorry dude, but I blame you. One of our downtown residents here in Troy Missouri. #ruralstreetphotography #photography #street #streetphotography #rural #bnw #blackandwhitephotography #blackandwhite #nikon #sigma #40mm

Mother nature ALWAYS wins. This building was abandoned decades ago. Even though it's surrounded by concrete on all sides the entire structure is covered in vines and various other plants. #photography #blackandwhitephotography #nikon #nature #blackandwhite #naturephotography #bnw

One mile from this scene you can buy a Porsche, Lamborghini, Rolls Royce, or an Aston Martin. The homes around here can go for many millions of dollars. Yet this structure seems forgotten. #photography #bnw #blackandwhitephotography #street #streetphotography #stl #saintlouis #missouri

The Lincoln county courthouse sits right on Main Street in Troy Missouri. Now basically an administrative building for the county, though the old court room still remains untouched upstairs. #ruralstreetphotography #streetphotography #street #rural #photography #missouri #blackandwhite #bnw #nikon

Goose shenanigans at the local city park. Shooting these Canadian Geese with a 40mm was a challenge. I had to bribe them with cracked corn. 😂 #photography #nikon #40mm #sigma #nature #wildlife #birds #birdphotography

Peace can always be found amongst the trees. A favorite spot of mine in Quivre River state park. When it rains this turns into a beautiful stream coming down the hill. #missouri #woodlandphotography #photography #forest #forestphotography #nikon #landscape #landscapephotography

Klondike park, built around an abandoned limestone quarry, features white sand beaches and an overlook of the Missouri River valley. This little bush growing out of the sand stood out. #missouri #blackandwhitephotography #bnw #blackandwhite #nikon

Several writers tagged up this porta potty at the "Mural Mile" in South St. Louis. Anything can be a canvas to a graffiti artist. #saintlouis #blackandwhite #bnw #nikon #missouri #streetphotography #street #graffiti #stlouis #blackandwhitephotography

Another shot from the other night. A spooky playground lost in the fog. No children present of course. But no axe murderers either! #ruralstreetphotography #photography #street #streetphotography #rural #nikon #sigma #40mm #missouri

As the fog settled in to Troy Missouri last night my only thought was "I need to get my camera and head out!" #ruralstreetphotography #photography #street #streetphotography #rural #nikon #sigma #40mm #missouri

Clont's Field was used for about 50 years as the local football stadium. Trained up some of the best high school football players the state ever had. Lots of local history here. #photography #street #streetphotography #rural #ruralstreetphotography #nikon #sigma #40mm #missouri

Rolls of hay for the cows at this commercial cattle farm all tucked in for safe keeping. The adjacent storage shed has hundreds of these gigantic rolls. Each one weighs almost 1400 pounds! #photography #street #streetphotography #rural #ruralstreetphotography #nikon #sigma #40mm #missouri

#ruralstreetphotography takes you back in time to a simpler life. This barn never even had electricity. It's hard to imagine what it must've been like. #blackandwhite #rural #photography #street #streetphotography #nikon #sigma #40mm #blackandwhitephotography #missouri #bnw

If you've ever been to a county fair then you'll recognize the fence littered with advertising for local businesses. #ruralstreetphotography #blackandwhite #rural #photography #street #streetphotography #nikon #sigma #40mm #blackandwhitephotography #missouri #bnw

Foggy morning drive through the countryside. A little movement adds to the mystery of the scene. #ruralstreetphotography #blackandwhite #rural #photography #street #streetphotography #nikon #sigma #40mm #blackandwhitephotography #missouri #bnw

Until you've tried #ruralstreetphotography you can't imagine the scenes you will stumble up on. They're not that far away, I promise. Grab your camera and hit the road! #photography #street #foggymorning #streetphotography #rural #nikon #sigma #40mm #missouri

Another scene from the #ruralstreets This barn is probably over 150 years old. Long since being used by the original owner. It now is serving as shelter for homeless people most likely. #photography #street #streetphotography #rural #ruralstreetphotography #nikon #sigma #40mm #missouri

Foggy mornings out in the #ruralstreet can make you feel isolated. The silence can make you feel like you're the only person alive. Forcing your visual sense to take over. #photography #street #streetphotography #rural #ruralstreetphotography #nikon #sigma #40mm #missouri #troymo

Scenes from rural streets place each person's interests on full display. Making each scene unique to that single human being. You can't find that in the city. #photography #street #streetphotography #rural #ruralstreetphotography #nikon #sigma #40mm #missouri #troymo

A view of the St. Louis Arch from the southern end of downtown. At the corner of Gratiot and S. 2nd Street. Standing amongst the abandoned warehouses and factories was like stepping back in time. #stl #saintlouis #stlouis #photography #street #streetphotography #stlouisarch #arch
