Finishing The Auto Graveyard

Maybe today I will get out and get some of those special Lubbock Christmas pics. Or, maybe not. Meanwhile, I will finish the current series.

This stuff could be like ghosts of Christmas past, I guess.

Remember, these things brought joy to their owner's hearts-- all bright and shiny! "Yep, got me a new crew cab PU! It's got a hemi in it, just like my rear end-- in fact my rear end has several hemis and I gotta sit on a donut in that there crew cab so my personal hemis don't hurt. But look how bright and shiny my new trick is". Yeah, and look at it now.  What a waste of resources it was, even from the beginning. And what became of those proud owners?

These PUs will never haul ass again.

They're stacked like cordwood! Reminds me of something...

Next time, it'll be Christmas pictures, and I might actually get them posted BEFORE Christmas! That means I'd better get out and get busy today! I believe I will use the Nikon this time.

Just Like Old Times

I found a place I photographed a long time ago and this time I really spent a lot of time there. 
I got this on the way back from the airport. First I had to cross some rail road tracks.
I was in an industrial zone, of sorts.

I remembered this place. I'd been trying to find it again.

I think when we first found this collection of derelict cars and trucks, all I had was a primitive cell phone camera. I wanted to do it up right this time.

There was a fence. I could have gone a lot further behind the fence but I would probably have shown up on security cameras. So I lifted my camera over the fence and found holes in the fence.

I'll finish this next time and maybe then I'll have some of those Christmas pictures! I want to get a lot of Christmas pictures! That is, if the weather cooperates. 

Off To The Airport

There's a residential area across Regis Street that is worth exploring. We examined it several times.

Of course, there are abandoned buildings. This is a good one.

I don't think it was ever a residence but it might have been a garage. That's just a guess. That would have been a long time ago.

There might be some interesting history here.
And then I moved on and located the scene of a recent cotton warehouse fire. It was still smoldering. Cotton burns forever, it seems. There was a firetruck and crew still on the scene, and it smelled pretty bad.

We are not finished. I took a lot of photos, and the best is yet to come.

More Of That Good Lubbock Stuff

We are getting into areas my wife and I liked to explore.

Smatterings of light industry with a few residences in the mix, and not very prosperous.

Not a lot going on.

After this, I visited a residential area near the airport. That was another one of our favorite places to visit.
