i love a good reflection
You don’t have to spend a real long time looking through my photo archive (a term I use because I am feeling extra fancy today) to figure out that I take a lot of photos of things reflected in windows.
So you shouldn’t be too surprised to see what I found in Ness City, Kansas. (I don’t know what a “Ness” is and I’d be hard-pressed to call the place a “city” but at least it had reflections.)

the night trucks
In case you find yourself in La Veta on a Tuesday night, you should know that the country club is going to be the only place for dinner. You should also know that it’s worth the 4 minute drive from town.
And I can also verify the fact that if you want to walk around downtown after that delicious dinner not only will you have made TWO good choices, but you can also see this delightful spot, right on the corner of Main Street and Ryus Avenue.

magical lights
I will always fall in love with a nighttime street that’s got lights hanging over it. Always. Every time.
I mean, I don’t fall in love with it enough to photograph it the “right” with a tripod and focused and stuff. But anyway, my brain likes this more ephemeral look so my brain and I are going to make you look at this version. That’s the way we roll.

reflections of small town life
Every time I go to Littlefield, there’s something that catches my attention. On this particular trip I made a lot of photos of this shiny thing (not a mirror – I don’t know what it was) leaning against a wall. I particularly noticed the way its reflection was monochromatic while the rest of the scene, though quite ragged, was colorful.

antique
Ness City is the kind of place where there’s a building nicknamed “The Skyscraper of the Plains.” And it’s four stories tall*.
To be fair the SOTP is a pretty fantastic building, made from stone and full of grand architectural details. There are other once-elegant buildings in town which makes me think the place was once a wealthy town.
So of course I spent most of my time in town checking out the truck with a carpet, carpet padding, and a chair. It was very nice.

*Or three. It depends on which Wikipedia article you’re looking at. The SOTP also has a basement, so who even knows what’s going on with the floor-count.
