X
Well, actually there are three of them. But I thought “XXX” was probably not the very best idea for a title…

Fat’s (across the tracks)
Later in the day, I took a lot more shots of Fat’s (don’t worry – some of them will start showing up on the blog*), but this was the first one, taken from the other side of the tracks. (I don’t know which side would have been considered the “wrong” side; I kind of liked both sides.)
A couple of things about Fat’s – one is that name. It’s hard to imagine that a restaurant with the word “fat” in the name would be successful. And the other thing is that it did not appear to be still in business, a fact hinted at by that telephone pole’s shadow across the front door, sort of X-ing it out.

Ridges: morning sun
If you like corrugated metal (Ehpem – this means you), you’d love this warehouse beside the train tracks. The shadows from the early sun added a lot of definition to that wall, which is surprisingly wavy and which makes me wonder what in the world is going on inside that place.
I also like the shadow from the arched roof, and the broken down trash bin.
It was a lovely place, and worth getting up for.

An extra level of security
There was no way I was going to try to climb over that fence. And not just because the sharp ends of the chain link fence were poking up, but because that spider web was RIGHT THERE.
It was a very secure location.

A certain rhythm
Last weekend, I met up with blogger and photographer Donna Catterick, and we spent the day photographing around Roswell, New Mexico.
My eye was caught by the sedate rhythm of the stairs and of those four windows, and the way that dangling window screen on the end broke up that rhythm in a very nice way. Way to go, window screen!
