...but I am not aware of any parties. As such.
The scenery does not change very much, though you drive mile after mile after mile.
Truckin' on down the road. Pretty much a straight shot of divided highway, with not much on either side.
That's why they call it LEVELLAND!
These type irrigation systems are in common use, sucking water out of the aquifer.
Most trees in this area were planted as windbreaks.
Big sky!
Getting farther and farther away from Levelland and closer to Lubbock...
Parched, flat, desolate-- vast expanses of dirt-- conditions are ripe for another dust bowl.
This one begins in Levelland on College Avenue and ends in West Lubbock on 82nd Street! The occasion was an estate sale in Levelland. My wife and I found some things at the estate sale, like vintage underground comics (selling on eBay as I write this). I found some wooden boxes to house chess pieces, too. On the way home, my wife used one of my estate sale cameras and took lots of pics on the road. All have been down-sized for use here.
A pear tree! Not likely to bear any fruit.
All these blossoms will be killed by a late freeze-- that's how it goes here.
Lots of truck traffic...
On the Levelland Highway, heading toward Lubbock.
There's a big cotton gin coming up...
It has a storage shed for heaps of cotton, but at this time it was empty.
Oil!
More oil industry stuff...
And many more pics to go, in future posts! If you like flat, you'll see a LOT of flat!
