Week of Randomness: Almost Nothing
Santa Rosa, New Mexico, is one of my favorite subjects. It’s got a very nice array of falling-down buildings and out-of-businesses and interesting cemeteries.
On this particular visit, it also had birds. Lots and lots of them, all flying at once from under the canopy at an abandoned gas station. I made quite a few attempts to catch them in flight, and there was nothing good about any of them.
When I was working on my posts for the Week of Randomness, though, this minimalist image caught my attention.

St. Rose, crumbling
Afternoon sun cuts across the old cemetery and chapel in a pleasing fashion. I’ve been here before, but there’s something about the place that just keeps drawing me back. I wonder, though, if it will be as interesting after that building falls down – because it will surely fall.

Cooling Systems
Well, wasn’t this place accommodating to overheated travelers? It’s got a nice variety of cooling options available, for cars and for people.
Too bad it’s out of business. (And I am pretty sure it’s been torn down recently.)

Interstate Commerce
A little something I saw when I was standing in a hotel parking lot and looking toward Interstate 40.
