Franklinton Tires

A Flickr meetup was scheduled for 5am on a Saturday (or was it Sunday?) morning.  I didn’t plan to go, but when I found that I couldn’t sleep that night at all, I decided…. why not?  A 40 minute drive in the countryside at 4 in the morning isn’t that bad at all!

The plan was to take photographs of an old abandoned mill, which is what we did… but we decided to walk around downtown Franklinton, a small town nearby.  By downtown, I mean a main street that consisted of two or three blocks.  We were a large group… approximately 10 of us.  I was the only girl in the group.  One of us stumbled upon a tire retreading shop that was open (the only thing open at that time, by then 9am) and the owner invited us all in to take photographs.

Below is a small selection of the photographs I took, or you can see more here.
