I took a few photos in Shallowater with my own camera. Forgot about those. I'll spend a couple of days putting them up. These are just variations of the same things my wife photographed.
The DROUGHT goes on. It is getting very serious. Never, ever, before have I seen it so dry here.
These two shots of "cliffs" near a drying playa lake finish this series. These would be majestic if you could do Asimov's shrinking thing. I put the camera down on the ground.
Pretty nice weather yesterday but another norther last night. Cold and gloomy again.
Let's look at some more of those common and everyday Lubbock scenes-- scenes from a car window!
The BIG M of Monterey High School!
More traffic lights.
US Flags are popular but not always properly displayed-- frequently frayed and tattered.
POWER!
More POWER!!
We try to be good citizens.
Another dried up playa lake-- much of what you see was once under water.
Driving around while my wife takes pictures... back in Lubbock after visiting Shallowater.
This is part of the Covenant Hospital medical area.
The lake in Maxy Park is going dry, because it just won't rain.
Destruction/Construction in the medical area off of Indiana Avenue.
Lubbock has alleys.
Lubbock has stop signs.
This is Indiana Avenue, and there is a hill-- although it is not much of a hill.
Monterey High School stadium lights!
The lights are bright on Friday nights, during football season.
Having failed to locate Shallowater's "downtown" (because there really is no such thing), we took one last picture to remind us of our Shallowater adventure.
And then we hit the road, and took photos of various sights along the way, beginning on the very outskirts of Lubbock. Lubbock has many apartment complexes, scattered all over town. The one below is in the extreme northwest.
Parched vegetation, ripe for a wild fire...
Lubbock is proud of its traffic signals.
Lubbock is proud of its infrastructure, and sticks it right in your eye.
Flyovers and traffic signals warm our hearts.
We can't get enough of steel and concrete and asphalt.
Big pickups rooool. There is a vast quantity of fat butt to haul in Lubbock, and a BIG ASS PU gets the job done!
