Hardware

There’s something interesting about hardware stores, in particular the more traditional variety such as the one pictured here today. They always seem to have busy storefronts, not only with a window packed with tools, fasteners, devices, and gadgets of all kinds, but also with a spillover onto the pavement. They also have that nice earthy smell about them, a distinctive mix of wood, chemicals, and plant fertilizer.
