Morton, Texas

This is probably a place I'll never visit in my lifetime, but I wish I could have a walk around with my camera. Here are a couple of places I spotted on Google Maps:

I took pictures of everything. I walked the entire town. I've been to all 254 counties in Texas.

I love old movie theaters. Lots of them on my trek across Texas.

Why do these look like ghost towns???

I guess it's so hot outside that no one bothers unless absolutely necessary.

It's like this all over. Economies change. Decline in family farms.The politicians don't want to tax to clean it up. This is a county seat. There are actual worse places in Texas. Wild.

I always thought it would be fun to explore an abandoned building, but I'd be too chicken about getting caught. There's a mansion a few hours from my house that's been abandoned for years. Owner ran out of money and it never got finished. Lots of people have been inside already. Unfortunately a lot of people vandalize these places so the last videos I saw it looked pretty bad.

Someone bought it and they're actually going to make a reality show out of fixing it up.

You woke me up, jerk.




You know what, I ate a deer last night and I'm stuffed.


I'll deal with your crap some other time.

Random pic I took, thought the sky looked cool with the way the clouds were.

 

[igor_kavinski]

That really looks like the sky is falling!

Thought this had a bit of a liminal space vibe and turned out cool. Took early morning after a night shift.

I did do some minor editing though. Removed a single car that was in shot and adjusted colours a bit just to add to the liminal space vibe.

The vanishing point perspective in your shot is really cool. Nice job.

Nice clean shots Ironwing. But how did you ever not spook that (bobcat? ocelot?) into running away?

Famous surf spot Waimea Bay with small surfable 10 ft. waves that day. A Hawaiian sacred temple called a "Heiau" in the foreground, the Waimea River that backtracks to the popular tourist attraction Waimea Falls with Kaena Point at upper left in the distance.

We're in his canyon every day so he doesn't get too stressed by our presence. One day he sat on a rock across the canyon and groomed while he watched us. Plus he's a big boy and could kick our asses.

Edit: this is the cat in action:

C'mon. It's just a bobcat. He may not be afraid, per se, but he wants nothing to do with humans.

Curious question: how does the predator/prey math work? Predator can't and probably doesn't need to hunt every day. So if it kills a prey and eats most of it, it can survive on that meal for at least 4 to 5 days without worrying about hunger and just lazing around? And if the need to hunt is earlier than that, then what's the predator/prey ratio? Has to be something like 10 prey per each predator and with regular prey reproduction cycles to replenish the prey population to avoid extinction.

You going to tickle its toe pads?

Why yes. Yes I do!
