Not your ordinary country store now is it? Nice composition with the shadow and the reflection.

@jeff (aka dogilicious): you might say this is the best kind.

The shadows frame this composition nicely. Looks like a cozy, warm little corner.

Man, I envy the culture and architecture in your realm. Walk up any simple country store and you'll see a phrase like "Est. 18xx"... makes me want to go in and buy a bottle of something something. Great find.

Glad to see you were in Weston! I don't remember the McCormick Country Store. Great shot Grant! I'll look it up next time I am there!

@Bill: they sell samples of all the McCormick products - but we were there on sunday, so no tippling.

The light is really nice and I like the look of the wood and ads behind the glass. Great stuff.

You have managed to flatten this one with the awning shadow and the shadows in general so it almost becomes a flat design – beautifully done… Love all the different decorative fonts as surface markings as it were.

With this image it suddenly occurs to me how well your square image format fits the blog page.
