Empty Saddle (Club)

I sure hate to see this place go. I’ve had a few beers there in my time.

Community Message Board

I found an informal communication system inside this abandoned building. I also found some nice light slanting through the room.

Peaceful Veranda (with laundry)

It’s hard to remember that this hotel has a highway and a railroad right next to it – everything in here seems so peaceful.

My favorite things are the light through the leaves and that bundle of laundry.

The hierarchy is posted

In terms of relative sizes of photos/crucifixes, you can see who’s most important here.

The Time-out Chair

I found this at the back door to the Brewster County Courthouse; I assume it is where the unruly employee(s) have to sit when they get put in time out. It’s in the shade, and the trees are pretty and the air’s fresh, so it’s probably a nice place to sit. Even if you are in trouble.
