FOR A HIGH RESOLUTION VERSION PLEASE CLICK ON THE IMAGE!
I have no funny stories to go along with this photo. On our way home from a family gathering in 2012, we came across a deserted town. The town was Geneva in either Iowa or Idaho. I think it was Idaho. But three days of driving left both of us a bit weary. We never really knew which state we were driving through.
I just want to wish every one a happy holiday time with family, with friends, alone. Whoever you are, where ever you are, make the best of it and smile!
Between now and the first of the year I will be re-posting a few old images on my personal blog, Photos By Emilio, that some of you might have missed. Please visit and leave a smile! Photos By Emilio is now just thirteen months old!

Thank you, Elina. Christmas was very quiet as every one we know left town. I spent a few hours with my grandfather, who is 92 and still lives alone. Tonight it is supposed to be very cold for NYE. I wanted to get photos of the fireworks at midnight but think I will probably be asleep by then 🙂 Hope you have had a good Christmas and will have a happy and healthy New Year. Please extend that wish to your family, too!
