Handmade marker
I’ve been to some fancy cemeteries – and have posted a lot of images from them – but the cemeteries I like the best are ones like these, in out-of-the-way towns that are mostly forgotten (the towns and the cemeteries, I mean.)
Last year, my friend Donna Catterick and I spent some time in Puerto de Luna, New Mexico, and of course the cemeteries were included in our itinerary. In El Calvario Cemetery, we spotted this tiny marker, clearly made by a family member and brought to the cemetery.
It reminds me of brown sugar that’s been pressed into a mold and then left in the elements to crumble away.

Most of the main part of the Riverwalk is developed, with hotels and restaurants and bars competing for those tourist dollars. But every now and then, there’s a place that’s been passed by, that serves as a reminder of what the whole place used to look like.
This was one of those places.

Please pay
Meanwhile, back in Santa Rosa, the paint’s so faded on the sign that it’s hard to tell where, exactly, you’d go to pay for your gas. But it doesn’t matter: neither the gas station nor anything in the direction of that arrow are still in business.

Starting at joist #29
Here’s the second floor of the same building from yesterday. Those numbered joists are a nice touch, I think. It’ll be a shame when the final construction work covers them up…

Construction project
1. “The best camera is the one you have with you.” – Chase Jarvis
2. Sometimes the day’s schedule sort of does its own thing, no matter what you’d planned.
3. And, because of item 2, I had only my cell phone with me when I had the chance to look around the renovation of this building.
4. But at least I had it.
