Lack of privacy

Not a great deal of privacy in this restroom, is there?

Guardians

Although the school in McAdoo has been closed for thirty years, the buildings are still there. The entrance to this one is carefully guarded by two weeds. I did not go further – they were good at their job.

Venus, Jupiter, and the ruins

070915

We took a one-night trip to Matador, just to get out of town for a minute, and to check out a local bed-and-breakfast. (It’d been that kind of a week.) After the sun was down, I walked around town making photos, including this one of Venus and Jupiter in the sky above a burned-out building.

The next morning at breakfast, all the overnight guests were interviewed by one of the innkeepers; the information was going in the newspaper. No secrets in Matador, I guess! She also told us that, if we wanted to visit the museum, she’d just call Arlis and get the key. The inn was very nice, and I’d go back. I wonder if I’d be interviewed again?

PS – In my interview, I did not mention that I was a photographer; judging on how many cars had driven by when I was out the night before, that seemed to be redundant information.

The Ragged Wall

Everything about this wall was ragged – even the shards of drapes left behind after the rest of the fabric was sawed off by the window’s broken glass. Of course, I thought it was beautiful.

Lining Up

I just don’t have the slightest idea what that skinny PVC pipe is doing, poking out of the building like that, other than lining up nicely with the skinny cloud. Do you suppose the pipe disappeared when the cloud did?
