Car Culture, two examples
Over there on the right side is a drive-in bank. Those are ubiquitous.
What caught my attention was the drive-through window at the mattress store. I am still trying to figure out the logistics of that.
But until I do, I guess I’ll just see this as an illustration of the car culture around here: why walk if you can drive. And why just drive if you can drive through?

Burritos at the Little Ranch
I’ve never eaten here, but it looks like the sort of place that has really good burritos. And also the outdoor seating is quite nice.
But the best part is the way the paint has faded on the plywood sign, revealing the wood grain underneath.

Mattress Alley
The alley side of the mattress store seems to be the place where excess inventory is stored. That seems a little odd to me, but the store’s be in business for a while, so who am I to question what’s working?

The Interim Fence
It’s easy to fall into the rhythm of the straight roads on the Plains. Fences flash by, post-wire-post-wire-post, in the endless pattern of ranch land.
Until the rhythm is broken by a flash that’s not quite right in a way that makes a photographer seek a place to turn around.

Constellation
This is another part of the construction project that I posted earlier.
The constellation-alike arrangement of the lights cast beautiful and mysterious shadows.
