Many Skeletons

A sign of changing times: this particular scene, full of abandoned stuff, is repeated over and over again across Texas high plains farms.

Recreations and Marinas

In the winter, the marina doesn’t have a single thing going on.

The summer may not be that different, actually, because this lake is currently at only 20% capacity. (But that’s almost double the level of its neighbor Lake Mackenzie.)

All I know is that if you walk through this culvert you’ll come out on the other side and still be in the city park. In other words, I don’t know anything that’s of particular interest here.

You’d be surprised (maybe) at how much traffic noise a simple fountain can cancel. This place was right on the corner of two busy streets and the water falling from that ledge into a basin make it all just go away. Plus, what an excellent way to reuse shipping containers! (Now I want one of these in my front yard to cancel out sounds of the motorcycle people across the street who seem to get home about 2:00 every morning…)
