Alleys are just flat out interesting places.
And this one is behind a rather old shopping "center". The area has seen better days.
I don't remember what kind of camera I used the first time we visited here. I got much better photos this time.
Colorful place.
And here is the mystery-- what's that all about?
This was here years ago, and it has not been removed-- this is the back entrance to a business in this little shopping "center". Someday I'll try, discretely, to determine which business and do some looking around. VERY discretely. I will finish this little photo series next time and go back to the sunflowers. They are not looking good at all right now. Wind and rain associated with a norther has knocked a lot of the taller ones down. I'll have some work to do Saturday!
I'm interrupting the sunflower series because the alley pics are ready and I like the way they turned out. This was not the only alley we documented but it was the first. I took more pics this time, with a better camera. Some things had changed and other things had not.
I think Lubbock is unique in having drive-through mattress sales. You can get them with cheese, too. And fries!
This alley is pretty awesome.
I've never checked the businesses on the other side. Maybe I should.
There are vestiges of when this part of town was part of a ranch.
Things have a nice patina.
Weeds, but no petunias.
More of this next time. Some mysteries! We will be asking,"what does THAT mean??".
Last weekend I visited an interesting alley behind a row of commercial establishments. This was one of the very early places my wife and I visited, when we were just beginning our photographic adventures. I used the Kodak for this. But that will have to wait until I finish this garden series.
At this time of year, sunflowers are in decline.
Birds are still finding plenty to eat.
I've got an awful cold. That's enough for today.
