The church by the beach

This might be St. Joseph Anglican Church. Unless it isn’t. Information seems unusually hard to find.

But anyway, I am almost positive if I had this just across the road, the time I’d be inside any kind of building would be fairly minimal.

I want to believe that the placement of a basketball goal next to a cemetery was the result of a priest’s attempt at illustrating some kind of theology.

Or maybe it was just where the ground was open enough and level enough for it to work.

Remember how, in the White on White, 4 post, I mentioned the possibility of perhaps using shots taken somewhere other than Texas?

Here we go: New Mexico!

On the other hand, not being adequately informed for a trip might mean that you end up in some place (let’s just call it “Redding, California”) that you chose for no other reason than it was approximately half-way between one place and somewhere else.

When that happens, the best thing to do is spend your time away from “Redding, California.”

The thing about being well-informed in advance of your trip is that you know what sorts of things you are likely to encounter and can plan accordingly. That way, you don’t miss the really good stuff.

The thing about being ill-informed in advance of your trip is that when you find the cool stuff, because you think a town’s name has a good ring to it and on the way there you see, from the little highway, a steeple and decide that you might like to have a closer look so you turn off the road and end up spending three hours in a town because it’s got way more than just that one steeple, it makes a vacation day into a Vacation Day.

This was shot on the same day mentioned here. You can guess which kind of informed I was….
