the view from my Grandma's porch in my childhood hometown. thanks to AnnaTeamer, Chris Asbury for her tutorial on using FotoGlows: http://annaaspnes.typepad.com/anna/2012/02/tutorial-using-fotoglows-.html i used Anna Aspnes' new Warm Glows No.1 to enhance the photo.

from Grandma's porch
you could see one of the mills in our valley.
it coughed smoke
always. and joyously
it was life to our city
smokey and golden.
revered. before making things
became a sin.
