When shooting, Murphy’s Law often seems to come in to play; if it can go wrong, it seems like it always does.  That’s why when you catch a break, you take note of it and smile happily about it.

I mention that here because there isn’t a single car parked in front of the Riverside (Illinois) Town Hall.  There are normally half a dozen cars parked in front of the town hall at night.  For whatever reason, this night no one was there.  It was a miracle!  I can’t tell you how much better this looks sans cars that it would have if there’d been a Camry parked out front.  This is one break I’m truly thankful for!

On the photo side of things, I have to note that it really was this yellow outside when I shot the photo.  Possibly moreso.  It’s why I was outside shooting in the first place.  Frankly, it’s so yellow that when I uploaded the images I actually looked to see if I’d accidentally turned on some sort of sepia filter.  I hadn’t.  If you are curious to know what a naturally aged photo looks like, this is it.

If you’re curious to see what this photo would look like if it wasn’t yellow outside, here’s the answer.
