The end of this place
Back in March 2013, I posted some photos of an abandoned small-town motel, Crider’s Motel, in Johnson City, Texas. One of the blog posts was titled “Crider’s Motel may be past its prime.”
Time passed. I never went back to Johnson City to see what was going on.
Then, on November 21, I had a comment on one of those posts from Sandra Trevino, who said, “The Crider motel was torn down today. It was a blast from the past.”
And sure enough, it was. Here’s the newspaper article about it. And here, bordered in black because I’m sad the place is gone, are those images from 2013:

Light Wedge
I just don’t think you can beat a nighttime view of a parking garage, with all that light bouncing around and making those cool wedge shapes.

Formidable Door Stop
I guess those excellent wooden doors weren’t staying shut, so the spool was put into service as a door stop; those Nebraskans are resourceful like that.

your words disappear
Yeah, so it happened again. I saw this image and a piece of a song floated through my mind.
“In the vastness of space/your words disappear.” Thanks, Paul!

Darkest part of twilight
On that trip, I was simultaneously getting my continuing education credits for my professional license and testing out a new camera.
Guess which was more fun? Guess which was more rewarding?
