Sittin' on the pallets of the salt crystals

Gunter Hardware in Crisfield

I captured these men enjoying a chat in front of Gunter Hardware located near the city dock. I know they would  have rather been  "sittin' on the dock of the bay" on a warm summer's day but it looks like they didn't mind the cold air. Stores all over the Eastern Shore stocked up on salt as several storms rolled in over the past month. I hope the salt-bench stays around for awhile. We have had enough snow, and when meeting up with friends in a small town it is nice to have a place to sit a spell and catch up on the news.
