Trinity
These spires are the reason we were there, since they’re visible from the highway well before you get to town. And we’re not the kind of people to not check out spires!

A spiral of light
This. This made the entire stop worthwhile.
(Upon reflection, it may have made the whole trip worthwhile.)

Chandelier + Angel
Look up, when you get inside, and you’ll be rewarded by a lovely painted ceiling, with puffy clouds and an angel. And a chandelier.

Guarded Entrance
“Are we close to Lott?” said the Patient Spouse as we were taking a circuitous route home from a trip. We were, which is how we wound up in Westphalia: it happened to be on the way.
Twin church spires had our attention before we even got to town, and of course we stopped to explore. The church – the largest wooden one in Texas – was a great find and we spent a long time looking around.
Oh, and Lott? It was regionally famous when we were in college as a place to go to get cheap jeans. We did go there, but the jeans store was out of business so there was no need to stop.

Street Rhythm
A side street in downtown Bryan seems plain, but if you look at it long enough the subtle complexities start to show up. Like the rhythm of the parking-space lines. The pair of downspouts bracketing the door. The paired up bench and trash can. The street light’s shadow. A bit of graffiti. A wavy bit of wire hanging from the wall. The line that crosses the street and heads straight to the door.
And so on.
