Toilet room
By now I am pretty sure you’ve noticed that I like to peer inside abandoned buildings. I like to see the stuff that wasn’t important enough to take out, but that was too important to throw away.
Here at the abandoned field house behind a now-defunct school, someone decided a desk, a desk chair, a barrel, and toilet should stay behind.

The East-West Divide
Graffiti artists have marked the east-west divide on a wall that runs north and south. That seems confusing.
(Recognize that trash container? Yes, you do.)

Miguel & Angelica
I just added a new rule to my other one – always look around back. The new rule is take the other route into town.
I’ve been to Plainview a lot of times. And I always go into town the very same way. The other day, I took a different exit (there aren’t that many to choose from) off the highway, which put me within eyesight of what used to be a big grocery store. It looked nicely abandoned, so of course I had to check it out.
And (around back, of course!) I noticed that Miguel and Angelica had proclaimed their love on a trash container. As one does.

Looking Forward by Looking Backward
Last year, I posted a photo of the world’s creepiest doll. (You’re welcome for taking you back to THAT nightmare.)
And here’s another shot of the same doll. That reflection in the window makes it look like she’s glancing back over her shoulder to see what’s in front of her.

By dusk’s pastel light
You know how sometimes the best part of the sunset isn’t on the western sky? This view, looking southeast, shows an abandoned drive-in – and an interesting fence – lit in the glow of the pink light from a waning day.
