That steeple was visible from the other side of town

You could see the top of this old church from the far side of town. Of course, that was just a couple of blocks, but it still drew me to it. It had been a while since services had been held here, as it was clearly well into its new life of being a storage barn.

It looked a fright

The wind out here blows nearly all the time. And it blew the curtains against the knife-sharp edges of broken glass, cutting them into shreds. It was a frightening scene, really.

Conoco

I guess when even Conoco leaves, there’s just not much reason for anything else to stick around.

Spreading gradually outward

The immediate neighborhood of this church had barking dogs, abandoned vehicles, and a bright turquoise house.

The church itself had a fence with a perfectly-placed* weed and the morning sun.

*Of course it was already stuck in the fence when we got there. It had been waiting on our arrival.

Mike & me

 

That’s my friend Mike, over there on the other side of the little church. We were exploring…

I like how our shutter fingers are in the same positions.
