Buddy Holly Hall-- Under Construction

Sunday morning in Lubbock was windy and dusty and bleak. But I took some photos of Buddy Holly Hall, a performing arts center, under construction and nearing completion. First time I've taken a close look. I used a lot of telephoto. Couldn't get close due to fencing.


 Peculiar structure above. I had no idea what that would be until I saw the artist's or architect's rendering.

This structure is very close to the Civic Center and main library downtown, and not far from the Marsha Sharp Freeway. 




It seems that this will form part of a tower supporting a kind of light sculpture, which ought to be an interesting addition to the skyline, and visible for many miles!
 Close to Lubbock Symphony headquarters.
More on this next time.

The Rest Of The Latest Photoset

I will have something else to photograph this weekend.




I suspect that this place will be here for many more years.




It's already been there for many years.




I've been out here with a camera many times, and every time I've been here, It's been different.



Until the next time...

More Photos Near McKenzie Park

Lots of graffiti and signs of homeless "living" around here.




I wish I could find someone who will admit to having visited this place when it was a tourist court/nightclub. 




It might have been colorful then but in a different way. More of this next time.

Soggy Sunday Morning In Lubbock

I was out with a camera, the trusty Kodak, on East Broadway, across from the entrance to McKenzie Park. 


This has been around for many, many years. I have yet to find anyone with memories of it. At any rate, I have photographed this place many times over the years. It seems to have been a tourist court with a nightclub. Long ago.


This is what it looked like last Sunday Morning, after a rain.


More of these "ruins" next time.
