Local Industry

You’ve got to diversify, right? So there’s pieces from a wind farm (and we’ll just assume a still-operable one nearby), some heavy machinery, an old well, just part of what keeps the economy out here rolling along.

Paisley

If you can make your mind think these things are a lot smaller than they are, maybe you can also make it believe that it’s just a stack of paisleys. Because that’s a thing, right?

Wind turbines look pretty big from a distance – and up close…it’s almost hard to comprehend their size.

Saw/blade

I am not sure why blades on wind turbines would need to be replaced. I am not sure why, when they are replaced*, they’re stacked up on the outskirts of Levelland. I am not sure how long they’ll be here, or where they’ll go next.

But I am sure of this: they are huge, even when they’ve been sawed into pieces.

*Or maybe the towers are being removed?

Roman brick is my favorite

Ever since I first realized that Roman brick was a thing, I’ve liked it. For clarification, I am not referring to Roman brick that’s in, you know, Rome. I mean the long, skinny brick that’s on the front of this building, and that can be seen in a lot of mid-century buildings.
