Petersburg, Texas, Continues

I took a lot of photos there.








When I reach the end of these, then we return to Lubbock for a look at a small section of the city's SOUTHEAST corner, near Loop 289.




I hope to make this blog the Best and Greatest archive of regional Texas photography available on the internet-- a real compendium of West Texas regional imagery, second to none!

Got Petersburg?

Get some more of it here.






 This was the first time we've visited a cemetery. Names would have been obscured in the photo processing, except that they are not unusual names and I don't think much can be learned. The graves were neat and well-tended. Some of the memorials were so poignant I felt like weeping.  I hope no family member would be offended by my efforts. I wanted my photographic efforts to be respectful.





A few more of these in the next installment.

Have More Petersburg, Texas

It's a SMALL town but not by any means a BAD town, as far as I can tell. Then again, I don't live there.








Small towns can sometimes be bubbling cauldrons of otherworldly strangeness, but I don't think that would be true of this town.











Plainview, on the other hand, seems to me to be quite another story. I do not hanker to return to Plainview.
