Concluding New Braunfels

These pics conclude our close look at this town.






Next time, a close look at one of Lubbock's desolated "industrial" zones. In some parts of town it seems that code enforcement is non-existent. Large tracts of land within the city limits are being used for nothing. Virtually every house appears to be on the verge of collapse. Illegal dumping is rampant.

A Close Look At New Braunfels

Avoiding the big picture...




It's all in the details.




More details.

An Old House In New Braunfels, Texas

It's an old ABANDONED house, a virtual ruin, in an old neighborhood in what is called, in New Braunfels, the "West End". 














That was in interesting ruin!

More Close-ups Of New Braunfels

It's interesting that details like these give the impression of being generic, things that could be seen anywhere. And yet, I'm sure they are NOT generic in that there is surely enough information in each photo to characterize a unique locale. And yet, we are not dealing with a hologram here.  Assuming then that we are not dealing with information coded within a hologram, how much does the part reveal about the whole?



 There's a hole in the floor!
 Could this be any old house anywhere? Or could it only be a particular old house in a very precise location with a very definite history?




In this case, I happen to know which old house this is, and where it is.




But by this time we've moved on to another old house, a different one.
