I had plans to capture some new images for the Lens-Artists Challenge #173, Interesting Architecture. I had the day off for Veterans Day so in the afternoon I drove out to Mountain View Road and into Princeton to capture some images.

There were lots of ideas about how the community could pull together to help less-privileged members of the town get computers and internet access so that the school children could attend classes from home.
