Still life: an alley

Two days, two alley photos. Yep. That’s the way I roll.

it’s been a while…

It looks like it’s been a while since anyone pulled that vine off the fire escape stairs. But it adds a nice soft element in a downtown alleyway.

Pool Boy

I have been through Crosbyton about a million times and for some reason I’d never bothered to stop to photograph their municipal swimming pool. My regular reader(s) may recall that I have sort of a thing for small town swimming pools; I cannot explain what I had not stopped here before now.

To my credit, though, I did stop as soon as I thought about, well, stopping.

Incredible

The town’s visionary was so far ahead of the the food truck trend that their truck didn’t make it. I mean, I guess it didn’t make it, since it’s surrounded by weeds that have clearly had all summer to get this tall. That’s the downfall of being a visionary – sometimes you are just too far ahead for it to work.

49 cents

It was lunch time, and I decided that what I really wanted for lunch was an apple. And while I was inside the town’s only grocery store, Moore’s Thriftway, I noticed that there were a lot of promising photos in there just waiting to be made.

Also, just for fun, I read some of the reviews of the store. Here are a few of my favorites:

  • Best grocery store ever!
  • Only grocery store here.
  • The prices are quite expensive.
  • A lot of their prices are cheaper than Wal Mart.
  • Name is misleading. Not really a thrift store.
