Rarely do I do anything scenic in any conventional sense. I am rarely interested in anything conventional.
This pic recaps something I did with my wife, when we visited this location a few years ago. Different camera, somewhat different point of view.
I'll bet not many people living here have seen any of this, or paid attention to any of this. I try to pay attention to things that no one else will. I try to document what no one else would try to document, focus on things that no one else would bother to look twice at.
It will be some time before I do more because the weather here has been lousy. Everything is water-logged, and there is no sun. Cool and even cold, and cloudy and wet every day and Thursday, tomorrow, might well be flooded out.
This is only one of many alleys we explored in downtown Lubbock. It smelled pretty bad back there. I don't recall it smelling like that the first time we checked it.
Pretty funky, especially around this rather shaky loading dock.
It's all pretty old stuff back here.
Look at all the corrosion and corruption on these gas meters!
A hard push and the walls might fall down.
Did I mention that a set of railroad tracks run through this alley?
Maybe I should come back during the work week to see what kind of activity there might be. But next time we see what I found by moving a few blocks away.
We investigated this area in the early days of our relationship. I was pleased to return with a better camera and probe more closely.
There's a lot of funky stuff here.
There's a loading dock here, and it stank.
This was interesting-- note the old fire engine. It has been restored.
I think something died back under this rather shaky structure. More next time.
After about five inches of rain it is looking really good again. Now the stuff that blooms in the fall is opening up and all of a sudden I'm getting lots of tomatoes.
It was dry and hot when I took these photos.
I'll have to scrub the birdbaths, eventually. Lots of work to do over the winter and into the spring.
Well, next time I'll have some stuff from downtown Lubbock, and a few things that will be sort of off the beaten path.
