labyrinthine
It is easy to get out of your vehicle and wander around these rocks and imagine that you’ve found yourself in a not-yet-discovered place and that maybe you are the only person there…and you can sort of feel yourself unwinding.
Until that car full of loud and rude (to be redundant, possibly) people shows up and parks right up next to the rocks, fucking up your mood as well as your view.
But I am not at all bitter about that. Nope. Not even a little bit.

please, no
The sign was sort of entertaining on its own, and then when I noticed the “new surface” behind the fence, it got even funnier.
But the sign maker was very polite about it with their request.

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.)

This place right here. You should go. It is unbelievable.

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.
