Separation
Well, I am not sure what caused this, but somehow the contents of the house became separated from it. (The debris field included a photocopier. If you’re interested, let me know and I’ll provide directions. I don’t think anyone here is using it.)

Chair no more
There was all sorts of crap piled up around this place. It was a bit of a mystery how this particular chair was selected for the trash, given all the other possibilities. I guess it was the only thing that fit into the dumpster…

Prairie Style
It’s probably hard to tell from my usual posts, but I know a couple of things about architecture. Which is sort of pathetic, really, since I’ve got an actual degree in architecture. But that’s neither here nor there.
Prairie style architecture, according to this link*, is “marked by its integration with the surrounding landscape, horizontal lines, flat…roofs…, and restraint in the use of decoration.” So it’s no wonder that this scene seemed to be a fine example!

Skyscraper: our version
The other Sunday was warm and sunny so the Patient Spouse and I took a drive. I’d been wanting to go to Roundup, Texas, for a while, because who wouldn’t want to visit a place with the same name as a broad-spectrum systemic herbicide and crop desiccant!
Our first stop was in downtown Roundup, where I photographed the four tallest buildings in town.

Marfa Book
Back in 2013, I posted this shot of the Marfa Book Company’s window. Since then, the store’s gotten a new space (but the same location!), and the backwards letters are still there. How about that!
