Orbs
It probably shouldn’t surprise you that this row of orbs was at the same place as yesterday’s levitating deity.

Levitation
If you are ever tempted to just take the freeway (or, if you’re in Oklahoma, the turnpike) to reach your destination, that is surely your choice. But you need to know that you can’t see this…thing? installation? art?…unless you take the back roads.
Plan accordingly.

Hotel Scene: floodlights and rain
My side of the hotel faced the turnpike, which could account for those extremely bright floodlights, lighting the way for weary, moth-like travelers. On my last morning in Oklahoma, heavy rain on the windows diffused the light…but not very much.

PS: Today would have been my dad’s 98th birthday. He and my mom lived in Stroud, Oklahoma, where this photo was taken, for a short while in the mid-1950s. I almost never plan out my photos to be posted on any particular day, so it was a just a coincidence that this one landed on his birthday. (I think that sometimes the Photography Gods are doing some behind-the-scenes work.)
Storm Damage
I recently completed a journey across Oklahoma, as part of a not-yet-revealed photography project. The first night I was in the state was a night of many bad storms. Some of them were uncomfortably close to where I was.
A few days later, my work on the project completed, I headed for home. Along the way, I passed through a swath of damage from the earlier storms, including this piece of sheet metal that was wrapped around a fencepost.

chair + corrugations
One thing you may know about me: I will often stop to photograph corrugated metal siding.
And other thing you may also know: I will often stop to photograph feral chairs.
Both at once is a guaranteed photo.
