Yeah, I got to Landa Park just the day before Wurstfest opened up. They were getting organized. Bigger and better than ever. Many improvements! Already a lot of traffic.
My mom and I got into Landa Park the back way, avoiding at least some of the traffic. Lots of deer around the golf course, as usual.
They have paddle boats in the park again.
I'm going to spread these pics out over several days of updates. More later.
But giving everything a close look.
After being a "widower" for almost a year, I'm starting to find that various people have plans for me-- they think they know what I should be doing. I'm also being hit on. Maybe I look eligible?? I'm finding polite ways to say: "bugger off."
I will determine what works for me now and what does not.
Awesome doors! What dark thing lurks behind these immense door?
The Marsha Sharp Freeway. I liked it better when we still had the old 4th Street that the freeway replaced. I don't like growth and I don't like the changes associated with growth.
I was not really this close. I use a lot of telephoto.
Another view of the performing arts center under construction.
This was an interesting reflection effect.
And that completes this section on sights in downtown Lubbock. Next time I can focus on New Braunfels.
It's been a long time since any energy has been generated there.
Above, see Lubbock's new center for the performing arts under construction.
These gas lines have had a nice coat of paint since the last time I visited!
I'd sure like to wander around inside, but no access is possible. And it would be trespassing.
Probably not very safe in there, either.
Exercising the telephoto. We'll stay with the old POWERHOUSE for a while.
Or power plant. It is also very close to a stretch of Marsha Sharp Freeway.
Will anything ever be done with this old structure? Can it be re-purposed?
Is it in danger of collapsing?
More from this location next time.
