It’s weird how both nothing and a lot is going on here…

Unseen things

It was the foggiest of days and things like deer and feral hogs and towns and other cars kept shifting in and out of sight. And so did all the giant wind turbines.

Movie Quiz Day

Hello, and welcome the first ever Movie Quiz Day here on the blog.

Do you know which movie’s final scene was filmed right here, and this otherwise forgettable crossroads in the wilds of the northern Texas panhandle?

And here’s a bonus question: out of all the otherwise forgettable crossroads, why this one?

Answers:

Question One: Castaway

Question Two: Beats me.

Downtown’s Reflections

There’s something about shooting into very reflective windows that I find appealing. You may have already noticed that.

In this case, I feel like just about everything that was going on in downtown Pampa on the night of the 26th ended up in a single image.

Dam!

This is how bad it is: the lake looked pretty full to us, compared to how we remembered it. But looking across the water at the dam, it was clear that it was still very low, a detail confirmed by my favorite lake-monitoring website: this poor little lake is at only 11.5% of capacity.

PS. I know it’s weird to have any kind of a lake-monitoring website, let alone a favorite one.
