Scenes of the Desert



Passing Train



 It was dawn when this train rumbled into view.  It struck me as a creature of the vast desert.  Fast and powerful, it swept by, looking neither right nor left.










Antique Mobile Home

 This mobile home has not gotten around much in recent decades.  It might be of 1950s manufacture.  Certainly it is no newer than the early 60s.

Whatever it was in the past, it is now a refuge for wildlife.  I think it is an artificial land reef.












House of Worship.


I found this ancient church in far west Texas.  The surrounding village still showed signs of life, but this derelict has moved on to the after life, if any.

It was stark and empty, but so well preserved in the main I felt there might be some hope for it in future.  It was fascinating.

Sanctuary

I wonder how many prayers were offered here.  It appears the final answer was "no."
Perhaps in another incarnation circumstances will be better.

This place is so isolated, there is no grafitti anywhere on the building.












Prairie Dwelling Outside


Out the window and in the distance rests a tiny cottage.  It might be occupied.  I wonder if the people living there are religious.
