Me, arriving in unfamiliar small town: I hope there’s something abandoned around here.

Also me, because I was traveling by myself: I’ll just turn right here…WAIT A MINUTE. An old gas station??!

Later, and still me: Well, that was worth getting off the main highway!

*Yes, that is the actual name of the place. Apparently the town’s founder named it for his daughter, Wastella. My question is who in the hell would give their child a name like that??!?

Horseshoes

Those curtains, though! With their horseshoes and horses design! It’s too bad they are getting sawed to pieces from the broken windows.

Here I go again, shooting through dirty windows to see what’s inside an abandoned church…

A sign of changing times: this particular scene, full of abandoned stuff, is repeated over and over again across Texas high plains farms.
