This is one of my favorite locations that I've filmed for a walk.

It was a very hot and sticky day. I'd just been to a flea market at Atlanta's Starlight Drive-In. They do drive-in movies by night, and a flea market by day. I'd never been there before. It was one of the first outings I'd had after a global pandemic.

The abandoned strip mall had repainted facades from what I can only imagine was a pop up art event. It looked incredible. By the light of day, on the day I was there, it was still completely abandoned. I was struck by the large letters painted in a prime spot. Large, visible from the highway, bearing what was once an ominous message. But repainted with a slight change that promoted hope.

I'm happy to repost one of my favorite walks!
