someone once told me that the thing they loved most about new york city were the water towers atop each roof, and how together, this skyline of water towers, created a narrative more interesting than the famous line of buildings that scrape the sky.
if there is a cityscape, there is a country-scape.
where empty gas stations are the natural pauses in the narrative of the empty skyline and passing trains build and fade in suspenseful climax.
i understand the country-scape because i understand the person who enjoys the emptiness of a 24-hour diner at 3am and the brimming expansion of a desert sky.

love it, all of it
