Thomas Goodwin of Fayetteville walks his bicycle up Mountain Street while on his way to get a cup of coffee at the Arsaga's location in the Fayetteville Public Library.
I saw this photo yesterday out the window of the story time room at the library while shooting something there. We didn't need it and I hated to waste such an interesting photograph, so I ate it. Luckily, we needed a feature photo today, so I went back to see if it would happen again. The photo I had made yesterday had a university student pushing his bicycle up the hill. It was really very charming. It was like throwing a fish back in the lake with the notion of catching it again tomorrow. Rain was forecast for the day, so I had hoped for a person with a big red umbrella walking in this spot over the water-darkened pavement. Wanting another person with a bicycle to walk up the hill seemed unrealistic and greedy.
After nearly an hour waiting with no one walking by at all, with or without a bicycle, I started to lose hope. Then Thomas came by with his bicycle. It totally made my day.
