The Sky Takes a Lead Role
Some scrappy brush that hasn’t yet leafed out for the summer, dwarfed by the giant sky.

Thermax
A close up of the x-ray machine from yesterday’s post.
For those of you who were wondering, I did some research on Thermax, and it currently has a lot of references that deal with “Pune-based industrial energy solutions provider Thermax.” (I first read that as “prune-based industrial energy solutions, which made for a fanciful few seconds. Welcome to my mind.) Anyway, the only thing close that I found was a reference to a 1974 x-ray machine in a British medical journal.
So there you are.

X-ray vision
I first photographed this building back in 2013, and I posted shots of a very messy room and of an abandoned refrigerator. But I didn’t go inside.
Now, though, I’m bolder than I was five years ago, and on a return visit to Colorado City I just walked right on in. And found this treasure in a back room.

Wind/Farm
Along this ridge, south of Sweetwater, there are literally too many wind turbines to count.
(See those crooked white lines that look like giant sutures? Turbines. See what I mean?)

Past the tipping point
The thing is that a lot of small towns in this part of Texas are past the tipping point, and there doesn’t appear to be any way to salvage them.
