Wind energy
The ruins of a roadside business frame the future – there are so many wind farms in this part of the state that it’s impossible to count the towers.

If you need to stop for the night
Say you’ve decided to check out the West Sweden Cemetery for yourself, and need a place to spend the night. You might check here first, seeing as it’s got refrigerated air as well as vented heat. I’m not all that sure what “vented heat” is, but it must be nice if a fancy place like the Hi-Way Motel has it.

West Sweden Cemetery
Don’t get confused by the foliage – the West Sweden Cemetery is actually located in McCullogh County, Texas, near the town of Brady.
It’s sort of a sad ending for Sr. Nandin. The cemetery registry lists his name as “Joaquin Nandin Fallecio”, even though “fallecio” means “died.” Either way, he was 55 when he passed away in 1929, and he was, as the marker says, remembered by his children.

There’s just the one terminal
Well, sure the sign DOES say “Terminal A.” Good luck finding Terminal B, though, as there’s only one terminal, and it only has one gate.
The good news is that baggage claim isn’t very far away.
Oh, and the runway is listed as “gravel/grass.”

The night door
Next to this building, the soft light of the frosted-glass door spills out onto South Congress Avenue. I had to time the shot to occur during gaps in pedicabs heading down the sidewalk toward the more lively parts of South Congress.
