Yes, we liked best the places in Lubbock where you would not find any trace of affluence. Like the neighborhoods where most of the vacant lots contained discarded tires, furniture, mattresses. We liked to visit areas where most of the houses were vacant or in a poor state of repair.
These are common sights in some parts of town.
You don't find much of a police presence either. Tech Terrace Park, for instance, has a nearly constant police presence. You cannot park near Tech Terrace Park without seeing a cop car cruising by at fifteen minute intervals. And they REALLY look you over. They can tell who belongs and who doesn't. In other parts of town it is certainly not like that.
Poor old boat, got no place to float.
Nature.
At the edge of town, somewhere, anywhere, you are going to find cotton fields.
I wish I could recall exactly where we were when we took these pics. Seems like I turned onto a dirt road off of North Upland. And I remember saying, wow, there sure is a lot of neat stuff to photograph out here! We were going to come back someday. Someday I'll try to go back there solo, find that spot again. Won't be the same, but nothing stays the same does it?
