A Thousand Tiny Diamonds

Out by a truck stop, work camp, and several oilfield equipment yards — trucks have cracked the pavement to hell under scarce rain, and when the sun returns, the damp road will sparkle.

Interstate Twenty

Warm sunlight and desert mountains blanket the horizon. Miles of asphalt fly under my feet. I love being out here among trucks.

Working Town

If people knew you were out there making pictures, you’d probably get in worse trouble, a proper way of going wrong. Odessa is a working town, and everyone needs a good way of going wrong.

Enjoying the Day

Interesting places exist wherever we look long enough. Odessa is a real place, nothing touristy about it, so thoroughly palpable that it’s utterly clueless about itself in a good way, and that’s why I stay.

Parks

Near passing cars, a walkway loops around a pond. Trees grow, and ducks eagerly anticipate snippets of bread. The park, known as Buffalo Wallow or Memorial Gardens, is an excellent place to walk in evening hours.
