Rust, and some other things

This is a detail of some farm equipment that sits along the highway in the tiny town (population: 8) of Hart Camp, Texas.

This part is confusing – lately I’ve posted a couple of photos (here and here) from Hart, Texas, but Hart and Hart Camp are two different places. It doesn’t help that they are on the same road – Farm Road 168. If you are on FM 168 heading north, you’ll go through Spade, Hart Camp, Olton, and then Hart.

Oh, and when you go through Olton, watch the school zone. It’s a lot longer than you think it’ll be. Never mind how I found that out.

The bars on the window are designed to permit the casement windows to open part-way.  But judging from the amount of thick paint on those window frames, I’d say that flat bars would have worked, too.

But these make a better shadow.

Whew! I did it. I am, of course, posting this in advance, so it’s pure conjecture on my part when I say the vacation was great and I look forward to a return visit to where ever it was that I went. But, I also look forward to replying to your comments, which I will start doing tomorrow!

Shocking, isn’t it? That I posted a color photograph, I mean.

This image and I had a bit of a battle. See, I wanted it to be black and white, because that’s what I am doing now. I mean, I even posted a picture of the Pacific Ocean in b&w: I am committed to it.

But, no: this image had its own ideas. It was somewhat insistent, in fact, of the correctness of color over b&w. I didn’t want to believe it. But eventually it wore me down. And so, here’s a color photograph. I hope you’re not too upset by it.

(Also: the photograph was right. It DID need to be in color. But I will deny that I admitted it.)

Hey – wait a minute. Doesn’t she look like this angel statue in Santa Rosa, New Mexico?
