I was stunned when I stumbled upon this stone mile marker a quarter century ago…I’m glad I snapped a few pictures of it, as it was stolen shortly thereafter. Should have ended up in a museum!

42d St. Blizzard of 1986-7
This picture does have some staining from uneven development, as it was before I’d figured out the proper amount of inversions for medium format film. I still was very pleased to find this frame after so many years…
