Things found in a kitchen
My entry for Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge this week. I found these two vintage refrigerators at Denio’s Market and Auction in Roseville.
Broken bridge
Even though the trails at the Miners Ravine Nature Preserve in Granite Bay are short and very near the busy road; but on a weekday morning I had the place pretty much to myself and was able to find a few interesting features to shoot — including this sad little footbridge over a (currently) dry stream bed.
