The line beyond
This is my country place.
Or, it’s a hut that happened to be already there when I bought the land. One of these days – sooner, rather than later, I’d say – it’s going to fall down. But for now, it makes an accommodating subject for a late afternoon photo. I like the ambiguity of the horizon line in the window – it’s hard to tell if it’s a reflection or if it’s a view all the way through the hut.
Oh, and while I was outside making this image, there were three other photographers inside. They were all from out of state, so I left them to the inside: I can go back any time.

It’s a great shot. Maybe you should change admission.

I wouldn’t feel right about that – I figure anyone who makes the effort to get all the way to Lubbock ought to get to see stuff like this for free!

The quality of this image is so good, Melinda. I wonder what it looks like on the inside?

Inside is in terrible shape. There’s a hole in the roof so there’s water damage on the walls. Most of the windows are broken. The floorboards are badly buckled. And, in the summer, there is usually a snake or two hanging around.
