Diamond Hill is an historic district in Lynchburg, Virginia. I set up behind my parked car in the street - almost aborted due to a sudden swarm of unknown insects, but they disappeared five minutes later. About 30 minutes later, a neighborhood resident pulled his car up a couple feet behind me even though there were no other cars parked behind him - I could feel the engine heat on my legs. No more stepping back to check my progress. He was nice enough, but I think I must have invaded his space. Sorry, guy!
