More Lubbock Hidden Places

Nice weather yesterday! We got out and about, checking real estate, but no new pics because I have such a backlog. Well, here are more:




These are not tourist destinations.




Scenic Lubbock!




Things like this are really the only bits of Lubbock that are actually interesting. 




An interesting thing about Lubbock is that it is BACKWARD! I've even heard conservatives call it that. I think, in my opinion, you could also call this city STUFFY. But we like it here. It works for us. We think it is overpopulated. We hate to see it growing. Cities like Lubbock should not grow. Growth does not make them better. Growth does not make any city better. There is an optimum size for collections of human beings. Lubbock has gone beyond the optimum.

Alleys And Hidden Places

Exploring Lubbock's nooks and crannies-- it's what we do here, among other things.




Some of the things we've photographed in the past are no longer visible, hidden now behind tall metal fences. Behind the fence the junk is still there, but now you can't see it. What a shame.




If you've got a lot of junk, flaunt it! Show it off! Share it with the world. Don't be selfish.
And don't HIDE it.




People who keep secrets can't be trusted. 




We say in these parts, that a feller who grows grain sorghum can be trusted with your life. We also say, an honest man is a man who grows grain sorghum. And we go on to say, it takes an honest man to grow a crop of good grain sorghum! Well, there's nothing secret about grain sorghum; you can't hide a crop of that. Think about it.

More Random Lubbock

VERY random.




These are things we found in alleys. One alley was studded with security cameras, and someone drove up and asked us what we were doing there. I said I was photographing junk. They seemed satisfied, and left. Nothing wrong with photographing junk.


This thing was on a roof. Don't ask me what it is because I don't know. 




 We found a metal hatch into the earth! Don't go there! Stay away! You don't want to know!
