Here,
at a livestock sale,
held weekly on Saturdays at the Enumclaw Sales Pavilion
for more than 70 years;
two men watch the offerings
and proceedings.

Rustic,
and warm or cold
depending upon the seasonal weather,
come dressed comfortably in clothes that may get a bit dusty.

The original sales barn,
made of wood burned to the ground in 1960
and was replaced with a steel skinned structure,
and a wooden interior.
: : :
The inside remains
quite similar to the original sales arena,
with old, well-worn wooden theater seats that fold up,
with some benches high up in the rafters,
where you will hit your head
if you’re not watching
what you’re doing!
Like moi,
I almost cold-cocked myself this day,
I was so intent on taking shots
of the sale.

Hi Madge,
A great feeling in the photo – such an intense concentration and a focused look!
Ouch! Hope it didn’t leave a (noticeable) mark. :) Wanted to stop by and thank you for you-know-what. Loved it and it warmed my heart. xo
Nice portrait, looking high concentration!
