This is "Main Street" in Fredericksburg, VA. Shot was taken early morning just after the sun rose. It looks like a ghost town but that is the way it is in Fredericksburg early on Saturday mornings. Not much activity until the shops begin to open around 10:00AM or so. Fredericksburg is a quaint, historic and beautiful small town. Great place to live and visit. Great location as well, only 50mi from DC to the north and 50 mi to Richmond to the South.

I like the general feel of this photo. It has a nice small town feel. The facades of the buildings have character for a main street, along with the lamp posts and the brick walkway. However, the large tree in the right third is a bit "distracting." I wonder if a different position (perhaps near the closest lamp post or near the big tree) would have captured the essence of this street without the distraction of the tree... Just a thought. But then again, perhaps the large tree is part of the character of this main street... There's actually a lot to see and wonder about as a viewer. Great street to capture.
