Abandoned Motel in Stamford, TX

This building was once a fancy motel in Stamford, Texas, now gone to rack n ruin.  It must have been quite the accommodation once upon a time.

Window Repetition

One of my prompts was "repetition".  I thought this image of windows on a high rise apartment building in downtown fit the prompt.

Patterns

One of the photo prompts I found was "patterns".  I've walked past this building so many times in downtown Abilene, Texas, but never thought of making this image.  

The other day it occurred to me that this would make a great image for patterns.

So there ya go!!!

Large Wreath

This wreath is on the same church where the angels are on display.  Just a simple green wreath and red bow.  At night the wreath is decorated with lights.

Water District Building

It was late in the afternoon when I got this image, so the tree is partially sun-lit and partially in shadow.

First Baptist Church

I spent a little time walking around downtown the other day while I was waiting for a friend to have coffee with.  The architecture of this church is beautiful but I've never taken a shot from this angle before.  

A Day in Haleiwa

8/365

My friend and I spent the day in Haleiwa.  I wasn't too excited about it when she suggested it, but I agreed because I haven't been out shooting much lately and I needed the diversion.  Once we got there, I decided to put some effort into it.

It was hot and I'm not a big fan of hot-weather photography.  But unlike hot weather in the northeast, there are always chances to cool off by getting into the shade or when the trade winds blow, so it was fairly tolerable for me today.

I'm pretty happy with some of the images I brought home.  

So I give thanks to my friend, Jackie, for giving me the impetus to get out there, for the stimulating conversations we had and for the great ideas for some creative uses for my images.
