Famous Hamburger
If you are one of those people who never stop searching for the best hamburger ever, I would like to call your attention to this little place, which unabashedly proclaims itself to be the home of the “famous hamburger.”
But I should also mention that the place appears to be out of business. So there’s that.

That day was windy – even by West Texas standards! That wind was a beast and almost made it hard to think going out to photograph things was a bad idea.
But this sort of made me rethink how bad that wind really was: after all, a calm day wouldn’t have given me this gift, would it?

Changes in agriculture* have rendered this grain elevator (and many of its cousins) unnecessary. But this is at least the third time I’ve photographed this particular one, and I bet I’m not done yet.

Lunch Lady
Color AND a person? I’m as surprised by this as you are.
(Backstory: we drove to Olton for lunch at a BBQ place that’s very good, and well worth the hour’s drive. It’s a food truck, and this woman was sitting at one of the picnic tables waiting on her lunch to arrive. Travel advice: if you like BBQ you may want to check out Rejino BBY, but get there early as they sell out.)
