Right up to the door
Last growing season, the crops went right up to the door of this old place. In a few more years, it’ll be all crop and no house. It’s the way things go out here.

Perforations
Did you notice how I’d drifted away and posted some color photos? That was weird, wasn’t it?
Not get to all personal and stuff (because this isn’t that kind of blog), but things have been just the tiniest bit stressful of late*. And, in the midst of the stress, the photos that I was working on for the blog insisted on being in color. That might be a coincidence. Or, it might not. I really don’t know.
At any rate, for whatever the reason, maybe I’ve gotten that out of my system.
I saw these tanks on my fantastic photography weekend in Roswell, and liked how the shadow of the perforations on the walkway went from being in focus to out of focus as the tank curved away.

Patchwork built
It was hard to know if this pattern was the result of someone testing out new color schemes or some graffiti-censoring. (Given the state of the building, I’d guess the latter is more likely.) But either way, I liked how it looked.

All the blue
The back side of the morning’s rain clouds were the very same blue-grey color of the old truck. This was one of those rare times when I knew for certain that the resulting photo would be posted in color…

Chair skeleton
Look! A chair skeleton! It was an amazing sight.
Out back, behind this abandoned farmhouse, there was a dog skeleton. And further out, we caught a whiff of something that was on its way to becoming a skeleton (if you know what I mean). All of which makes this place sound a lot more macabre than it really was.
