Hotel rooms always seem full of photos waiting to happen.
Last week I spent the night in San Angelo. One night. One person. And all I needed was one room with one bed. For some reason, they gave me a suite which had more square feet than the first apartment I rented. It had a living room! A giant bedroom! Two TV sets! A full size closet! A bar sink! Windows on two sides of the room! A desk! Two ( !! ) dressers. It was a lot, especially because I was exhausted and honestly the walk all the way to the bed in the other room seemed like it was almost more than I could do.
But on the way to the bedroom, I did see this cool lamp.

I made two shots of this wall; I didn’t care for the first one because it had a person’s shadow on it.
Turns out, I was wrong and could have stopped with the original image, because it was more interesting.

I suppose that normal people think about White Sands and think about, you know, the white sand.
But these picnic shelters always come to mind: I can remember these exact shapes from my childhood visits to the dunes and I’ve seen vintage photos of them fairly often. Their shapes remind me of the gentle slopes of the dunes, which are of course constantly shifting, but still keep their sinuous shapes.

Shadow Line
Well, who could resist these spring-like shadows on a rough stucco wall? Not me, obviously.
