Pulpit View
If you want to know more about the Covenanters’ Church, Wikipedia can explain it.
I was the only one inside the place. And that pulpit, accessible via a steep and narrow staircase, was too tempting to resist. It just occurs to me that maybe steep and narrow staircases inside churches could be a metaphor. Those straight-laced founders of the place, who segregated men and women during the services, probably didn’t imagine a day when a woman could ascend to the pulpit. Even if she was just there to make a few photos.

Little Gay Lawson
“I’ll just lie down flat on the ground to get this shot. I won’t get any bug bites or anything, since I won’t be here long.”
-my internal dialog, immediately prior to making this image of Little Gay Lawson’s headstone.
“Holy crap! Look at that spider.”
-my internal dialog when I first looked at this image on my computer and saw that spider on the left side of the headstone’s base.

Nothing gets in the way
There are no trees to stop the wind. Which reminds me of a song. Which shouldn’t surprise any regular readers: lots of things remind me of a song!
Here’s Joe Ely, singing “Because of the Wind”.

Evening’s Invitation
The courtyard beside the Hotel Matador and the summer evening issued an invitation to sit a while.

Vehicle at dusk, heading north
It was a good evening for making photos. First, I got this shot of the low light on a newly-cut wheat field. And then, a little later, a north-bound truck helped out with this shot.
