3 trees, 2 windows, and a door
In the winter, the trees’ shadows claw their way up the front of the building.
Also, maybe I have mentioned that I have a thing about symmetry? That I don’t like it. So, while the window-door-window arrangement here is symmetrical, the spacing’s not, giving it the much-needed (in my opinion) dash of asymmetry.

In a ghost town, do ghosts go to church?
I guess this is slightly related to the earlier post from the cemetery at the Terlingua ghost town.
Up the hill from the cemetery, and facing away from the town, is this little church. The only evidence that anyone had been around lately was an apple wedge, slightly dessicated, on the altar.
I am not too sure what this means, but my favorite part was the way the altar cloth hangs lower on the left.

Just to make sure (Marfa)
Sometimes, in Texas, we like to label our buildings. Just to remind us.

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.

2012: Now in convenient book formats!
My favorite images from my 2012 blog postings are now available in a variety of book formats!
If you’d like either the print or PDF version you can find them at Blurb.com. Or if you’d rather read it on your iPad, you can find it on iTunes.
I suspect they’d make great gifts….
