the waiting is the hardest part

As the great Tom Petty said, “the waiting is the hardest part.” And there is something going on in the scene that I can’t quite define but it makes me feel like something is going to happen there. Eventually. Maybe.

Wall Texture

A ragged wall, shot through a dirty window: my favorite thing.

Thirds

On a trip through Nebraska last year, we (of course!) took back roads as often as possible. On the day we drove from Hastings to Omaha, we started on our usual path, and soon noticed some interesting things that looked like ammunition bunkers or something. Naturally, they required further exploration and we soon found ourselves on a back-back road.

There were, in fact, miles and miles of bunkers. And this place, too, which seems somehow connected to the bunkers in a way that was hard to ascertain.

Mixed Use

This place used to be a gas station or auto mechanic shop (or both). Now it looks like maybe it’s a heating/air conditioning business. But with tires.

An oddly-framed view

I realize the opening in the wall is actually a functioning (and functional) passage to a space beyond the wall. But it’s more fun to think it is a device to frame that streetlight in the background.
