Abernathy Continued

For some reason, when you take pictures of this place, it looks a lot more colorful than it does to the naked eye... heh, heh.

And what about those stark, sharp, shadows? It's amazing what the camera lens will reveal.

 

More Abernathy

It's just that we found a lot to photograph in Abernathy.

 

Abernathy In Pics

Abernathy is dead still on a Sunday afternoon. Except for the Dairy Queen, nothing was open. We ate at that Dairy Queen. We really wanted a mom & pop style local eatery, and there is one, but it's not open Sunday. 

If Abernathy decided to prosper by catering to the adult trade, with sexy books, magazines, videos, toys, strip joints and all the other things so dear to the hearts of good old boys, we would have to rename it Abernasty. Just a joke, son.

Probably though, that's the only way Abernathy would ever get REALLY prosperous...

 

Abernathy Exposed

Or, "Exposing Abernathy"...

Note the satellite dish on this recently abandoned, derelict house. 

Abernathy is so close to Lubbock, that, if you have transportation, you can escape for a few hours and decompress. Living in Abernathy might not be so bad if you like peace and quiet, but I could be wrong. Some of these little towns are deceptive. At any rate, we are not done with Abernathy.
 

Finishing Northwest Lubbock, Starting Abernathy

Actually, from our location in Northwest Lubbock we drove south on Upland Avenue, all the way to 82nd Street.

 The photo above was taken on North Upland.

 On Upland heading SOUTH.

Upland, at Marsha Sharp...

 The same.

 Heading east on 82nd, past the biggest flag in Lubbock. It's an auto dealership. They will make you some kind of a deal.

ABERNATHY!

Abernathy is sliced almost in half by Interstate 27. I'll have many more pics of Abernathy. This was a serious photo expedition, and still, I didn't run out of things to photograph!
