Window Movements

The motion of the old vinyl window blinds combined with the what-is-that-about slant on the wood on the boarded-up door caught my eye from the other side of the street. It just got better the closer I got.

Adobe School

The exterior of this abandoned school gave me no clue that the walls were adobe, and even when I first look thorough (what was left of) the front door, I couldn’t really believe what I was seeing. I was about to call in the expert, my Patient Spouse, for his architectural opinion on it. The next window I looked through, though, confirmed it: that v-shaped hole in the wall is typical of the way adobe erodes and not at all the way masonry does.

But it still seems odd.

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.

Annotated bridge

The underside of the Pecos River bridge is a popular place to share opinions on a variety of subjects.
