Night
It was almost too much, walking around East 6th Street and the adjoining neighborhood, in Austin. Every place I looked I saw something that I wanted to photograph: walls, signs, bad paint jobs, worn brick, and on and on.
Since 6th Street is known for its nightlife, the best time for someone like me to visit is early Sunday morning, when there are no pesky people to get in the way of a good shot.
I spotted this gem on the way back from the weekly gospel brunch at Stubbs BBQ.

Sure, it’s not as beautiful as this see-through building, which was photographed by my pal Brett Erickson, but it is still an example of that particular architectural genre.

On the outskirts of Wink, Texas, the home of Roy Orbison. His first band, in fact, was called the Wink Westerners. You’ve probably heard of them.
You can see a couple of other views of Wink here and here. (These are the same buildings, taken about a year and half apart. Time has not been kind to Wink.)

The now-defunct Larry’s BBQ. The sign’s right – it did have good friends, food, and music.
But a chain BBQ placed opened up in town, and that was it for Larry’s.
