reflections of small town life

Every time I go to Littlefield, there’s something that catches my attention. On this particular trip I made a lot of photos of this shiny thing (not a mirror – I don’t know what it was) leaning against a wall. I particularly noticed the way its reflection was monochromatic while the rest of the scene, though quite ragged, was colorful.

over at the hut

I’ve been photographing the decline of this hut for about 17 or 18 years. Lately, every time I head over to check it out I think THIS will be the time the roof has fallen in. One of these days, of course, I’ll be right.

decorative water

You could hear this little fountain before you could see it. Or photograph it, as far as that goes.

roadside jesus

There were two or three people out that day, wearing yellow safety vests and cleaning up litter from the roadside. If my memory is correct, that section of the highway had been adopted in memory of someone; it’s reasonable to assume the people I saw were related to the in-memory-of person.

Anyway, this wagon was partly filled with some of the larger trash they’d picked up that day.
