Nice colors as the sun sets west. The buildings are facing west situated on River Street. River Street is a slice of old North Adams; along with the Mill buildings.I was fortunate to pick up a copy of a book written by Joe Manning on the history of North Adams. Joe brought together a wonderful compendium of North Adams' history, it's urban renewal and economic shifts - with personal testimonials from towns folk. There's some great pages on the workings and staff at the Sprague factory (currently MOCA) and a photographic journal of the severing North Adams main street.
I was mesmerized by Joe's book and then stepped out on the street to see the sun set on the noble architecturally detailed facades. It's brief, but for the moment's appreciation - one might desire to go back one hundred years and walk the same street. Where did I put my spats?
