What happened here?

Two things, really.

First of all, it seemed like if the very reason I made a u-turn across a highway to take a picture was because this old place had a red desk in front of it, then I just had to post it in color.

And, that it happened to fall on April Fool’s day was just a happy coincidence.

But please don’t worry: back to b&w tomorrow. And sorry if I startled you.

Marathon gargoyles can’t be explained. Even the building agrees.

If you go to Marathon, and decide to take the only road out of town heading south, you’ll first cross the railroad tracks. Then another block or so down, on the left, you’ll see the Marathon Gargoyles. Or whatever these things are. (See the half-moon hanging in the sky between them?)

Check out this shadow! It doesn’t help understand what in the world is going on with this little building, but it IS amusing.

I guess the sign on the door sums it up best:

WTF, indeed.

Oh, Marfa

I just returned from a trip to my favorite part of Texas. This is a tease of what’s to come – a nice little place I spotted in the tiny town (with a big reputation) of Marfa, Texas. My traveling buddy and I had some lunch at the famous Food Shark, checked out the Marfa Book Company, then spent a few hours walking the town.

You can probably imagine what was my favorite part….

Stay tuned for more photos from the trip. I have enough to last a long, long time.
