Homepage photo for the week beginning July 13.
Maybe readers familiar with Saranac Lake will understand the title of this image, but I doubt if other will. So let me explain.
This, as I'm sure you recognize, is a building reflected on moving water. It's taken from the bridge on Main Street in downtown Saranac Lake on a lovely, sunny day -- actually it was taken as I strolled through town during the June Art Walk. The building is now pretty much derelict, but in its hay-day it was the site of a local bar and eatery named "Dew Drop Inn". The title of the photo derives from the fact that during the summers of 1960 and 61 a lovely, young blonde girl worked there as a waitress. Her sojourn at the restaurant has become a favorite tid-bit of town lore. The young lady went from the Dew Drop Inn to Hollywood and made a name for herself in them thar moving picture shows. Her name was Faye Dunaway. And so time passes, as the water that flows under the bridge and past the old Dew Drop Inn.
