Out with the old
Parts of this hospital have already been torn down, and other parts are well along in that process – all to make way for a new hospital. It’s hard to get a good view of the work site, though. There are tall construction fences (with fabric over them) all around the site. The parking garage that would afford a fantastic view is accessible only with a code number (which I don’t have). I think there may be a way to get to a pedestrian bridge, but that means wandering through the maze of hallways of a place that holds only bad memories. So, I did what anyone with a 28mm Summicron lens would do: I poked that little lens right through the only part of the chain-link fence that didn’t have fabric covering it, cranked up the ISO, braced the camera and myself against the fence, held my breath, and hoped for the best…
(Weirdly, bracing myself, holding my breath, and hoping for the best are all things I have done inside that facility.)

Flowers, butterfly, cloud
Of course a gloomy day is the perfect time to photograph a field of sunflowers. And photographing them in monochrome? Even better.
And then, a butterfly landed on that flower, and stuck around long enough for me to get the shot.

Called on account of rain
I don’t get many opportunities to photograph in the rain (except for that time in Los Angeles with Ehpem when we spent the day in monsoon rains!) so this was a treat!

Food Prep Line
A food prep line, a tangle of cables, and a soda machine: the empty restaurant.

Wheel Stop Ballet
Maybe someone in Lubbock remembers how long the Grandy’s restaurant has been closed, but until I get a firm date, I’ll just say that is’s been closed nearly forever. A new place is (finally!) getting ready to move in there, so I took advantage of its still-abandoned look and made a few images.
Who knows how these wheel stops got all out of line. Perhaps those weeds are stronger than they look?
