Heaven on a Sunday morning

042113

Of course you knew this: that the very instant I first saw this place, which was on a Friday night, I made plans to go back on a Sunday morning just so I could use “Heaven on a Sunday morning” as the title of a blog post.*

As it turns out, heaven isn’t too crowded on Sundays. Just a couple of guys working on repairing the brick street, a man on a bicycle who was shopping the trashcans, and me.

*I realize I could have actually taken this photograph any day of the week and just pretended I took it on a Sunday. But I wouldn’t do that.

The church by the beach

This might be St. Joseph Anglican Church. Unless it isn’t. Information seems unusually hard to find.

But anyway, I am almost positive if I had this just across the road, the time I’d be inside any kind of building would be fairly minimal.

Remember how, in the White on White, 4 post, I mentioned the possibility of perhaps using shots taken somewhere other than Texas?

Here we go: New Mexico!

On the other hand, not being adequately informed for a trip might mean that you end up in some place (let’s just call it “Redding, California”) that you chose for no other reason than it was approximately half-way between one place and somewhere else.

When that happens, the best thing to do is spend your time away from “Redding, California.”

One block: Brownfield

It is the county seat, so maybe you’d expect some commerce or something.

But you might be setting yourself up for disappointment.

On the other hand, the area is experiencing a boom from oil drilling in the areas once thought un-drillable, so it will be interesting to see how much of the boom money stays around in towns like Brownfield.
