the night trucks
In case you find yourself in La Veta on a Tuesday night, you should know that the country club is going to be the only place for dinner. You should also know that it’s worth the 4 minute drive from town.
And I can also verify the fact that if you want to walk around downtown after that delicious dinner not only will you have made TWO good choices, but you can also see this delightful spot, right on the corner of Main Street and Ryus Avenue.

stars + a summer storm
I really do feel bad for people who live in a place where their views are obscured by trees and hills or mountains, because they miss out on the opportunity to sit outside in the evening and watch thunderstorms march across the Plains.
The other night I was at my place out in the country and spent a few delightful hours watching storms.

This is what the hotel room looked like at 10:53 pm. In case you’d wondered.

If you’ve never seen a clump of photographers get excited by a puddle in the middle of a street, you may not believe me when I tell you that we spend at least a half an hour right here. There were many, many photographic possibilities and we were determined to explore every one of them.
(This will also serve as a warning to non-photographers: hanging with us is likely to cause a rapid onset of complete boredom.)

We’d found this market during one of our daytime meanderings. It was bustling, full of activities like the one guy who was cleaning the night’s catch of sardines or the other guy who’d set up a kitchen beside an arcade and was frying up plates of fish or the people using the public fountain to wash dishes or the people enjoying lunch.
But then we heard the place takes on a whole new feel after dark – it was described to us “as like a disco” – so of course, on our last night in Palermo, we had to go see. It was different. It was a lot different. The fish cleaners and fish fryers were gone. No one was doing the dishes. And of course it was too late for lunch. But there were even more people than we’d seen in the daytime. There was a little place selling aperol spritzes. There were tiny cafes all over the place. There were diners. There were pedestrians. (There were four American photographers.) There were motorbikes threading their way through it all.
It was hard to leave.
