Just to make sure (Marfa)
Sometimes, in Texas, we like to label our buildings. Just to remind us.

Marathon gargoyles can’t be explained. Even the building agrees.
If you go to Marathon, and decide to take the only road out of town heading south, you’ll first cross the railroad tracks. Then another block or so down, on the left, you’ll see the Marathon Gargoyles. Or whatever these things are. (See the half-moon hanging in the sky between them?)
Check out this shadow! It doesn’t help understand what in the world is going on with this little building, but it IS amusing.
I guess the sign on the door sums it up best:
WTF, indeed.

2012: Now in convenient book formats!
My favorite images from my 2012 blog postings are now available in a variety of book formats!
If you’d like either the print or PDF version you can find them at Blurb.com. Or if you’d rather read it on your iPad, you can find it on iTunes.
I suspect they’d make great gifts….
Ghost Bike
This ghost bike along US 90 commemorates where a cyclist was killed. Using painted bicycles as a way to memorialize a death began in Missouri in 2003. This fatality was, judging by the sign on the bike, the result of a DUI.
The lens flares seem to be pulling the bicyclist skyward.
