Fenced

Here’s something interesting I discovered on my walkabout the other day in downtown Littlefield.

On a side note, there was a woman (and her barky Chihuahua) who kept a very close eye on my activities. I tried to speak to her, but I guess she didn’t hear me because I didn’t get a reply. And I saw her out of the corner of my eye a few times. Must have been her day to watch for random people from out of town.

Slanted

I was walking around the now-abandoned hospital (the one where my grandpa died, but I wasn’t getting any weird feelings about that) when I saw the way the afternoon sunlight was slanting across the rough stucco wall. And then I noticed the stain left from the old downspout. Not a bad pair of things the old place had to offer.

Carted

I don’t know, either.

What the Chamber of Commerce didn’t want you to see

I have a crush on downtown Littlefield: I will just go ahead and admit that right now. It’s got lots of empty buildings for me to photograph and I never get tired of looking at them.

But for all the times I’ve been there, I only just now noticed that from a certain angle you can see right through a pair of glassless windows and get a nice view of the Chamber of Commerce. It sort of sums up the whole town.

Plainsky

An abandoned grain elevator, a lot of horizon, and even more sky are three things I quite enjoy finding in one convenient location. (Within an hour of when I made this shot, the sky had cleared completely. I am happy that the clouds stuck around long enough.)
