I think the photos get more interesting as we go forward in this series...

Levelland Set 6
I could have photographed a lot more than I did, but I always feel a bit nervous taking these photos, since I'm not photographing things of "obvious" interest...
Even in Levelland, you have to be mindful of small town paranoia. It's a good thing I don't look like a hippie anymore. And my wife knows people everywhere we go. I'm sure I could depend on her to talk us out of any difficulties.

Levelland, Set 5
There actually is a lot to see and do in Levelland, thanks to South Plains College. Relatively speaking. I would not mind living in Levelland. I think I might become suicidal living in Tahoka, but that's just me. Levelland, Tahoka-- very different cities with very different governing philosophies, it seems.
If it looks kind of dead in these photos, remember, we visited Sunday afternoon. Most small towns around here roll up the sidewalks on Sunday. But that's good for me, in terms of photography, because I don't want people in the way.

Levellandia Continues, Set 4
Remember, these have been reduced in size to fit your browser. The original digital files will print nicely at poster size, but these will not.
Levellandia, Set 3
Doing my level best here--- ha. Ha.
I can't explain the cannon. I don't know enough about the customs of this town. Could be, it is used in a July Fourth celebration. It appears to be homemade, like soup.

More Levelland, Set 2
I took a photo of a large Baptist church in Levelland, because on the tall spire/steeple there was no cross! What goes on with this? That is unheard of. I don't understand that at all.
Other pics are of sights very near the courthouse and what I would call a municipal square.
Near the window were a lot of bees. I didn't know whether I was close to a hive, or whether those would turn out to be KILLER BEES, so I didn't stay in that area very long. Years ago, while jogging in Lubbock, I got attacked by a bee swarm and I didn't want an experience like that again.

Levelland, Set 1
Let's get this new spanking Levelland photo series off to a start, with some pics of the South Plains College campus!! South Plains College is one of the best educational investments around. You can get out in two years and be instantly EMPLOYABLE! Anyone who can read can find the finer intellectual things. But most of us must earn a living. That takes a bit more...
This stuff is all new since the last time I visited. Oh yeah, another great thing about South Plains College is that it does not waste precious time or resources on a football team. They have a great track team, though. http://www.njcaa.org/colleges_college_home.cfm?collegeId=1316
That should be enough, shouldn't it?
