Yes, these were taken on 66th St. East of Avenue A. Kind of a desolate area.
People have been dumping stuff along here for many years. Occasionally it gets cleaned up.
This is illegal dumping, and that is common in Lubbock and Lubbock County.
More from this area to come, as we approach Avenue A.
Like, a distant grain elevator, viewed in telephoto.
On a Sunday morning. Or how about another broken down abandoned house, of which we have many in Lubbock?
Most of them are in such bad shape, they need to be torn down. Or how about a mattress? These are scattered all over town.
I'm taking these photos on a section of 66th Street, where you can find lots of dumped junk.
More Lubbock next time!
That's what we'll be looking at here.
This is were the utilities are.
You've got your gas meters back here, like these.
This is were you've got your storage tanks.
And the gas meters around here are pretty funky. Next time we'll look at more ag/industrial type things.
Moved a bit. Still in the vicinity of the earlier pics, though.
This is the overpass where I stopped to get the overview of the railroad yard. There have been a lot of wrecks at this location.
And this area is full of warehouses and light industry.
But you still find plenty of scenic wonders!
Nature, polluted by the human presence. Ah.
A fire consumed one of the warehouses on this corner. Debris still not cleared away. I photographed this last year, shortly after the blaze, in fact. More to come.
Maybe not actually random. Sort of clustering in one area, here.
Out of business for sure. At one time you could get some deals here. Probably no more deals. The roof is even gone.
I took pics of this place last year or the year before, before it became so derelict.
I've wanted to get this shot for a long time but it's dicey. Have to stop on a bridge. I did it, briefly, because traffic was very light. More next time.
First another random view of Lubbock.
And there it is. Now, Santa Land in the process of being packed up and stored for another year, when it will be time to drag it out again and pretend once again that there really is a Santa Claus. But if there really is a Santa Claus, he never really goes away, does he? We could have a theology of Santa Claus! Has Santa Claus always existed? In no time at all we are in deep water and people are slaughtering each other, because, really, there can be only ONE right way to understand Santa Claus. Let's not go there.
It was nice to see that Santa's throne was still there. Kind of like the star-spangled banner. I've got some new pics of scenes in Lubbock, and these will be going up eventually.
Not many-- I need to take more pics!
I'll probably do that Sunday.
