you can’t tell me there is no mystery

If you’ve been around this place for very long, you know that my mind sometimes connects (seemingly, usually, at random) my images with specific song lyrics. This time it was the line “you can’t tell me there is no mystery” from Bruce Cockburn.

This photo was made through a screened window on the back of the sad little trailer I’ve posted a couple of other photos of. Everything here is now and will forever be mysterious to me.

A dubious claim

Well, sure, the sign does say “open.” But there is not one single other indication that this is indeed the case. (For example, there’s this photo of the back of the place.)

Time is a cruel master

Obviously – since there are no tires or anything – it’s been a minute since this travel trailer traveled anywhere.

Unless you count its current route toward destruction as a trip.

Grow Light

Even copious amounts of sunlight weren’t enough to save this tree. But here’s hoping it died of old age, after a long and productive of providing shade and doing other tree-things.

Collapse

Out here in this part of Texas, a lot of things collapse. This old, fallen-down grain elevator is but one example.
