The end of the line
The remains of the rail line looked skeletal, like dinosaur bones emerging from eroded dirt. But I guess what’s actually going on here is that what’s left of those old railroad ties is disintegrating into the ground and will eventually disappear.

A wheeled object
There are days when every single thing seems like it wants to be in a photograph, and my recent Saturday in Roswell was one of them. This wheel – which was on a rolling door in an industrial part of town- was particularly insistent about being in a shot, and I was happy to oblige.

To mark the decline
In the parts of the country where I do most of my shooting, plywood and chipboard are very popular building materials. Unfortunately for the towns and the people who are still trying to live there.
It’s hard to imagine that a structure completely boarded up will ever make a return. And if that’s the case, these boards have marked a lot of decline.

That wall
That wall.
It has a lot of things to like. The graffiti-control efforts that are just about intrusive as the graffiti was. The OUT left over from some kind of warning. The angle of demolition. The stripes from the poles and wires. I really liked that wall.
(See that black container? Those are the municipal garbage bins. They are round, and not very heavy. And also, the wind flings them all over the place. Just in case you wondered.)
