Just More Lubbock

More places that most people here would never see.








Light industry; mostly defunct, ruined, abandoned.







You see a lot of these grain silos-- I guess that's what they are. Grain elevators?

Klick klack!






In the foreground, behind the weeds, piles of concrete wait to be broken up and recycled.








A lot of weeds and a lot of concrete, from bridge supports and other sources. Most slabs had steel reinforcing rods.







And we drove on...

Roaming Around Lubbock

The old parts of town are interesting, and not over-populated. That's where we like to go. This photo series begins on Erskine, north of TTU, and where it ends I am not sure.




We found an old house that seems to have been in use by party animals-- probably juvenile delinquents. Lots of drinking, and probably drugs as well. 








We drove on, and found more of our favorite things, like furniture dumped at curbside, and junk cars, and weeds, and abandoned buildings.

 What's behind this fence? See below!
 It's a junkyard! I LIKE junkyards! I did not enter the property, I merely held my camera above the fence.
 And then we moved on...
 Old Glory and ribbon wire-- when you see one, can the other be far away?

 The Texicans have staked out this place, it seems...
 One picture tells the story...
 



"This junk is MINE!!" Don't mess with a Texican.

Many more pics to go! More explorations of Lubbock obscurities to come!

A Celebration In Slaton

We were there only long enough to eat BBQ sandwiches, and for me to take a few photos. It was very hot.




 That's it. That's all, folks.
