Center of Town

The small town of Wayne is the first destination for the fox hunters on the season opening hunt. The hunt is timed with the local church service and the reverend comes out to a service right on Army Trail Road, the Blessing of the Hounds. Having been given a couple of clues, I knew enough to leave the staging area, drive into town, and prepare for the event.

This first image is a reminder of the Horse Show I attended a few weeks earlier, where the star of the tailgate party was a wonderful post-war Bentley. Here the car is simply parked near the church, the owner among the crowd ready for the big event. And then the first riders began to arrive outside the church, walking right up the street.
