sunset over the water tower

 

Last night I could have used a great sunset for my landscapes but, alas, no clouds.  Tonight was a great sunset behind a mundane scene.  This is the New Deal water tower located by the Fortenberry shop.  New Deal was incorporated in 1970 and my dad was the first mayor.  That's when the water system was installed and Pop donated the land for the water tower.

Do you think, that in a budget-conscious decision, the Lockney city fathers opted to build the four-square police station at the base of the water tower?  Certainly hope the roof was waterproof.  The Police Department has since relocated closer to City Hall.
