Alleyway Art Gallery
Now, you might have the impression that Levelland, Texas, is without art. In fact, it is known as the City of Mosiacs* and the local artists seem to be branching out a bit, into these nice alley-based pieces. I am lucky because this art is on the way into my office, so I get to see it regularly.

So many things here that I can’t explain.
- This boat is part of a land-based flotilla.
- The flotilla is moored on some vacant land between a church and a cotton gin.
- A cotton gin in the middle of a town isn’t especially normal.
- No boat trailers? How’d they get here?
- Why?
And there’s at least one thing the people in the house across the street can’t explain.
- Why is that crazy woman over there taking pictures of the boats?

How to get closer to God
Apparently all it takes is a couple of ladders.

Deepening shadows
This building is under renovation – one of these days, it’ll be office space for Hockley County.
I happen to know the architect* for the project, and was able to get a tour one afternoon. Of course, the tour wasn’t planned in advance or anything like that**, so the only camera I had with me was the one on my phone. Which is better than no camera at all, of course. And the phone did a great job of capturing the way the shadows deepened in waves across that far wall.

** Even though I am licensed planner! (Don’t tell the American Institute of Certified Planners – I’d hate for them to revoke my license!)

2. Sometimes the day’s schedule sort of does its own thing, no matter what you’d planned.
3. And, because of item 2, I had only my cell phone with me when I had the chance to look around the renovation of this building.
4. But at least I had it.
