AS A WRITER AND PHOTOGRAPHER, I notice details.
Details define, set a mood and/or a scene, comprise the whole.
During a brief visit to Amboy in rural southern Minnesota this past July, I noticed details which create a memorable community.
From the vivid painted wooden quilts displayed against a garage
to Urban Oil, a rather amusing name for a service station in a rural setting (note that the station is named after the Urban family),
to the garden art at The Amboy Cottage Cafe, details abound.
I appreciate signage,
old
and new.
And I appreciate the care businesses take in showcasing their wares.
Amboy is one sweet small town.
