Time To Wrap Up Brownfield

I want to move on. I've got new photos to post here.

By the way, it is Thanksgiving here in the USA, and my wife and I have a few things to be thankful for. Mostly we are thankful that we are together, and that we are able to live a peaceful and quiet life. It was not always like that for us, earlier in our lives. 

 
 And now, some pics of our wild flower garden-- the Monarch butterflies finally showed up, about a week before the first snow.

And this is what it all looked like a week later...

I hope you all have something to be thankful for.

Back To Brownfield

Don't think for a moment that any of the photos I take are necessarily representative of the places we visit. Sometimes they are, when the town is very, very, small. But at all times I like to zoom in on the things that interest me, and ignore everything else.

I'm actually almost caught up on the photos!

Back To Lubbock

The rest of this stuff is really on the road back to Lubbock. I think we took East 19th/Idalou Road to the East Loop and went south on Loop 289. This is just stuff we saw.

Cotton, oil, and wind energy make Lubbock go 'round.

 Pump Station 8, above and below...

 Crumbling roads and bridges, because nobody wants to pay for this stuff...

 Lubbock, love it or...

 

Through The Canyon And Back To Lubbock

Not a whole lot to say about this because everything is self-evident in the photos.

It isn't long before you're in flat land again.

Eventually we found ourselves in Acuff, home of the The Acuff Steakhouse. Then we knew the way back to Lubbock. In this area, it is hard to get lost.

Beyond The Old Golf Course

If you drive on past the golf course, what's left of it, cotton

fields... like the scene above, give way to an interesting little canyon.

Driving through here, you can almost imagine that you are not in West Texas anymore.
