Tornado – 1 long
The interior of what used to be the fire station. I am extremely fond of the reminder, painted on the wall, of what siren to blow if there’s a tornado coming. I guess it times of immediate danger, it might be hard to remember one long…

The Shady Side
There wasn’t a lot of shade, but there was a little bit beside an abandoned church. The small and infrequent trees didn’t offer much, so it was nice that the building stepped up to help.

It was a one-star place
Here’s another view of the Texan Motel, which evidently, no matter how hard it tried, was ever only a one-star kind of place.

Texan
I won’t lie: my photographic heart beats a little faster when I see an abandoned place that’s got a window I can look through. This time, I spotted the Texan Motel lobby, complete with a rack of outdated (probably) tourist brochures.

“Compose and wait.”
I’ve taken two classes with Sam Abell, and he stressed that concept both times. (He practices it, too – look at his work and you can tell!)
I am not a patient person so composing and waiting doesn’t naturally occur. But look what happens when I actually c-&-w! An art lover – though she appears to be a little skeptical about this particular piece – steps right into my composition, just where I needed her to be.
Thanks, art lover!
