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.

Various forms of commerce
An interstate highway, a truck, a billboard, an oil well – that just about covers the economic influences around here…
