Wasco is a small town in north central Oregon. It’s primarily a farming/cattle raising area. Like many rural towns it is struggling. Below is a boarded-up storefront window that I found interesting.

Never Shoot into the Sun
Certain times of the year you can get shots of the sun setting directly at the end of Water Street (‘main street’ Port Townsend). You aren’t supposed to shoot into the sun, because you get those lens flares and such (the big circle in the lower center). Don’t follow rules and you get better photos (sometimes).

Small towns offer a lot of interesting photo opportunities. This was taken well before any social distancing was required … but there certainly isn’t any crowding in towns like this.
