A precarious situation
My friend Donna Catterick and I spent some time exploring this old ice house. We’d walked under those tanks a few times before she noticed how much they were leaning.
It was an interesting coincidence that we were through shooting at almost the very same time she pointed out the precarious situation…

Chinese Restaurant, night
If you’ve been around this blog for very long, there’s a pretty good chance that you’ve seen some other photos of Santa Rosa; it’s one of my favorite locations. The place has a lot going for it: it’s close enough to Lubbock that it’s not a huge deal to get there; my spouse goes there as often as possible to scuba dive (really!) which gives me time to wander around; there’s a huge inventory of derelict structures.
You may recognize this building, which has made a couple of previous appearances here at One Day | One Image: here. And here.
I like the building. I like its very non-PC name. I like that giant canopy. I like…well…I sort of like all of it.

Pediment
I liked this stately building, now retired from its previous life as a bank. The tiny pediment over the door is a nice touch.

Church Dining Room

Urban designers sometimes use the term “wayfinding,” which means the use of signage or other visual clues to help people easily identify where they need to go. I suppose a church building itself could be considered an example of wayfinding, in a spiritual sense. But this church also used wayfinding in its urban design sense, too, with the Church Dining Room painted on the wall above the correct entrance to the dining room. Just out of this frame there is a sign that says Prayer Room.
