The boots left behind
That’s nice – someone thought to take off their boots before they went inside.

Tessellation (missing)
Some of the buildings that used to house the motel are down to the slab now, but the floor tile in the bathrooms is still in place.
This is the floor from two different bathrooms, with a gap where the wall used to be. But it reminded me of M. C. Esher’s drawing of geese transforming themselves into fish, so in my mind*, that gap was the space where hexagons transformed into rectangles.

*Yes, it’s weird in there.

Let’s finish out the year with a photographic trip to the Cliffhouse Project, right here in Lubbock. It’s an abandoned restaurant and motor lodge. It’s also the site of a very cool development project that will reuse the buildings that are already there, provide an organic urban garden and opportunities to create art, and is already hosting various pop-up art events. (Like this one.)
My friend, and fellow photographer, Liz McCue was in town the other weekend and we took a trip over the to Cliffhouse; I’d say between us, we probably made a few hundred images – and I’m sure we didn’t even find the coolest stuff yet.

And promises of rain
Way over there, to the southeast, are some clouds that look like they might bring some rain. They don’t, of course.

Street Tacos
Every first Friday, no matter the weather, folks turn out for the First Friday Art Trail. This month, in addition to what you think of as “art” there were bands, dancers, costumed actors, food trucks, and lots and lots of people. My informal survey of the food trucks indicated that this one, the taco truck, was the most popular.
It’s a lot of fun; you should probably plan a trip to Lubbock one of these first Fridays to check it out. You’ll be glad you did.
