Amqui Station Farmers Market 10: The Depot

So this is the old train depot. I’m not exactly sure of the entire story, but I think it was originally located in Hendersonvlle, and Johnny Cash would drive by it whenever he was returning to his home on Old Hickory Lake. He watched it fall into disrepair and eventually acquired it, and he and June Carter ran it as a boutique and railroad memorabilia museum. He donated the structure to nearby Madison, AT&T donated some land, and the structures were moved to this location in the middle of a park, where it now serves as a museum and community center. I think that’s the story.

Amqui Station Farmers Market 6: Squash

Not much more to say about this one. This is the Instagram version, with, I think the “Lo-Fi” filter. I rather like what that one does to the colors, highlights and shadows.

Who wants squash? From the #FarmersMarket @AmquiStation in #MadisonTN #Nashville

Amqui Station Farmers Market 5: Nancy VanReece

Nancy is a Madison resident and is active in the community; shewas instrumental in organizing the Farmers Market. I was a tad slow getting the focus in the right square. Sometimes autofocus can work against you. Next time I’ll try to remember to just snap the collar back and use the manual focus with focus peaking.
20/20 hindsight. It’s an occupational curse for photographers…

Look at all the pipples at the #FarmersMarket @AmquiStation in #MadisonTN #Nashville

Amqui Station Farmer’s Market 4: Mayor Dean Blows The Whistle

I rather like Nashville Mayor Karl Dean. He’s the least politiciany politician I think I’ve met. Except for Mary Mancini. Actually, most politicians seem like normal people when you meet them in person. Except John Edwards. That guy just oozed sliminess.
I imagine being the Mayor of America’s 25th largest city is a 24/7 job… so here’s the mayor on a sunny spring Sunday afternoon, casually dressed for a change, pulling the chord on the railroad whistle to announce the opening of the Farmers Market.
