A precarious situation
My friend Donna Catterick and I spent some time exploring this old ice house. We’d walked under those tanks a few times before she noticed how much they were leaning.
It was an interesting coincidence that we were through shooting at almost the very same time she pointed out the precarious situation…

A marked trail
From this angle, it’s a little hard to know if those rocks are going up the trail to meet the storm, or coming down in an effort to escape it.
Of course, there’s always the possibility that they are just rocks, doing what rocks do: biding their time until they’ve eroded away.*

*I actually don’t know if that’s how it works. My college geology class was a long time ago.
Chinese Restaurant, night
If you’ve been around this blog for very long, there’s a pretty good chance that you’ve seen some other photos of Santa Rosa; it’s one of my favorite locations. The place has a lot going for it: it’s close enough to Lubbock that it’s not a huge deal to get there; my spouse goes there as often as possible to scuba dive (really!) which gives me time to wander around; there’s a huge inventory of derelict structures.
You may recognize this building, which has made a couple of previous appearances here at One Day | One Image: here. And here.
I like the building. I like its very non-PC name. I like that giant canopy. I like…well…I sort of like all of it.

Arm Supply
Signage nearly always amuses me. Unless it’s got terrible errors, like using apostrophes to make something plural. Those signs just piss me off.
There used to be a pharmacy here in Lubbock that had interesting items listed on its marquee sign. The best one I ever saw had “Toilet Paper – 12/$3 – Listerine – $1 – Wheelchair – $399.” Because mouthwash and wheelchairs are both impulse purchases.
But I digress.
This place, from what I read, is where you’d want to go if you need livestock or perhaps another arm or two. That’s good to know. I guess.
