It was in tatters faster than expected
That thin fabric was little match for the knife-edge of the broken glass. It only took a couple of strong wind storms for the glass to start to saw the curtains; it all went downhill from there.

Source of Power
As I mentioned yesterday, I will always look inside abandoned buildings. And I will frequently photograph the interiors through dirty windows; most always the camera catches more than my own eyes will see so it’s fun to look at the images later to see what I got in the photograph. The Patient Spouse is convinced that one of these days either the camera or I will see something awful…to date, he’s always been wrong. Fingers crossed….

Baptistry, after the fall
This was a first: in all my times I’ve looked inside an abandoned church, this was the first time I spotted a collapsed baptistry. That’s why I will continue to look inside as many abandoned buildings as I can: because you just never know when you’ll see something new.
Also, this is the place where a pair of dogs came up behind me, suddenly, causing me to have my regular reaction when unknown dogs get close to me: I always assume they are there because they want to eat my leg(s). So far, I’ve been wrong every time and I hope to never be right.

Two Worlds
Parts of Tucumcari like like they are stuck between the wind-energy present and the Route 66 past. It’s easy to tell which is which.

8-7 Buffet
I was embarking upon a 280-mile drive the other morning. And I made it all of 27 miles from my house before I was compelled to exit the highway and make a series of turns to get back around to photograph this place. And the thing is, I’d already driven by it a thousand times (estimated) and never even noticed it. Until I did. And of course, once I saw it, I had no option but to photograph it.
Road trips with me are time-inefficient, but just rich in frequent stops.
