After Dinner

101316

I was trying to get a shot of the table. But I didn’t want people in it. (You know.) But she was just too quick for me.

Now I realize that the shot I thought I wanted would have been boring compared to the one I got.

The Rhythm of the Space

Remember this old place from three years ago?

This is what the outside looks like now – it’s (finally!) under renovation and all the “decorative” metal siding’s been stripped off, and you can see that it used to be white, and turquoise. Well, YOU can’t see that, since this is a black and white image, but I saw it.

That’s neither here nor there. What I really like about this is the way the entire frame devolves into about a million rectangles.

School Pom

Wow! This shop owner really shows some school spirit! I mean, here we are at the beginning of the 2016-2017 school year, and s/he’s got that vintage poster from six years ago still occupying an important spot in the window.

Held at bay

The people around here are pretty lucky, that’s for sure. If not for the fence and that old tire, there’s no telling what those two runaway shopping carts might have gotten away with!

Importance of local commerce

This business is, I am sure, critical to the local economy. It’s part of the vast agribusiness infrastructure of the South Plains. I think it is, anyway. There’s not a sign or anything like that to tell me.

I guess they’re operating on the principle that if you need to know what the name of the place is, and what it does, you’ll somehow just know.
