Winding Down Plainview

We are about to have Plainview in our rear view mirror. A few more views of Plainview, and then we will be returning to Lubbock, with a stop along the way to view another repository of junk, and this one might actually be toxic. 

This is just another abandoned building in Plainview.

There is an old American Legion Hall, in a state of decay. What happened to those American legions, those world conquerors?

This is one place where they seem to live no more. All gone. And this ruin is all that is left. In Plainview, north of Lubbock.

Goodbye, Plainview. We might return to do the 4th of July there, as we did last year. I'll be there with my camera, and maybe we will meet the time traveler again, the strange fellow with the big camera who followed us around, trying but largely failing to make some kind of coherent conversation.


If I sometimes appear to be only semi-literate and not particularly grammatical, remember: I graduated from Texas Tech.

 

More Of Plainview, Texas

But we are only focusing on a few things.

These are the few things we found interesting, in a visual sense.

What this building was, and when it was whatever it was, once, we don't know.

It's a mystery. It's the sort of place I'd like to roam around in, camera at the ready. But there was no way to get into this thing and it would probably have gotten both of us arrested if I'd found an entry.

Note the tall doors! What passed through those doors, eh? Eh? What secrets are hidden here? We'll probably never know. And maybe that is just as well. Maybe, if we knew those secrets, we would never again experience a peaceful night's sleep. Yes, better not to know...

We are still not done with-- PLAINVIEW! 


 
 

Lurking Around Plainview

Yes, recently we re-visited Plainview and I lurked about with my camera.  We found new things to photograph there.

We had to go almost to the edge of town to get some interesting things.

We didn't bother to learn what this structure was for.

I used the Nikon in Plainview, and exercised the telephoto.

More from PLAINVIEW-- next time!
