Eyelet-lace trim

A band of wobbly concrete blocks atop this old building are reminiscent of eyelet lace. At least they are to me…

The fact of being curved

Industrial architecture used to be lot curvier than it is now, don’t you think?

Fence does its job

That fence over there on the right side of the house is hard at work, keeping things in. Or out.

Either way, kudos to the fence for a job well done!

Leaving may be the best option

I don’t know. It seemed like an OK place to me. It’s not like I spent a bunch of time there chatting up the residents or anything – I was mostly just taking pictures. It seems like the highway signs are pretty anxious for travelers to just keep moving along, though.

Maybe I was lucky to escape.

More of the same

Just for a change of pace, I decided to stop and take a picture of an old building in a little town. Ha! Ha! Of course that’s not a change of pace – it’s what I do.

I capped off a great day of shooting in Roswell the other day by making some additional stops on the way home, including at this fantastic little place in Tatum, New Mexico.

To be fair to Tatum, the town’s population is increasing, up 15% between the 2000 and 2010 census counts; at last count, it stood at 798 people, which is the opposite of most places I seem to end up.

I did not see that many people while I was in town.
