Week 6: My Neighborhood, through my eyes

May 8th, Holley Auction waiting for food at the barbeque tents set up outside.

My neighborhood is known for a few things, muddin' in lifted trucks, country music festival in the Summer and fishing on the lake and rivers. I thought for my environmental shot I'd try to take pictures of the thing I love the most about my hometown, the lake.
