A lucky coincidence saw Sylvie and I in Washington at the same time and, even better, headed to Virginia for a weekend amid the peak fall colors. Sperryville is a hamlet at the foot of the Shenandoah Mountains in Virginia that mixes the modern with the historic in an ever-changing amalgam. A new rib joint lies across from an Internet cafe in the old town church. The corner store in this photo has been around for decades selling essentials to the local farm folk and city weekenders - hence the Perrier next to the beef jerky. The colors in Fall are almost Hollywood ridiculous - it was still before 9am so the sky was fairly thin here but the early morning sun brought out the colors in the trio of stores and the remarkable tree that dominates Main Street. It about hurts the eyes it's so violently vibrant. Shot with a 24-105mm f/4 at ISO 200, f/6.3 and 1/80 sec on a 5D Mk II.
