A little house on the access road from North Platte, Neb.
We have driven past this place every time we travel to Wyoming. We finally visited this quirky place.  It has been here a long time. I think that slanted thing is an entry to the cellar...

This guy doesn't seem to have moving parts. I'd bet though, that something moves..

I AM HAVING QUITE A STRUGGLE MANAGING THE "LITTLE THINGS" SINCE THE CHANGES.
I CANNOT GO BACK TO THE ORIGINAL SITE.



Okay, bear with me here; I see the face of a dog, 
The red things "whiskers?"

DOUBLE CHECKED, LOOKS AS IF THERE IS A STINGER ON THE TALE?



CHECK THE BOOTS ON THIS GUYS "LEGS"



               Any ideas?...I don't get past intestines?         Check the background. They all have moving parts and if it is windy they can go pretty fast


Not sure what this little guy is...



The red car is a Volkswagen with a trunk added. There are all kinds of vehicles with creative altering. 




These tiny things move 
Those are "skies" braced to the body of copter or what ever you would call it. That tiny propeller moves really fast...



              

It wasn't windy enough to turn this.
        I would like to see what turns... 



Looking at the elephant's rear can you tell what it is made of?
A darling little man, so happy to show us his creations.  He has an impish smile at times.

He had many other things to show us, an eight wheel car....it even runs.

A BRICK MURAL

 
Click for larger or if you are using smart phone you can turn horizontal . You may have to turn each picture one by one...


This is a bank front in Valentine, Neb.  I have debated how to present it... It was a serendipity occurrence as we were there for a post office mural..

 
This is a bank building that was supposed to be where the WPA mural was.  

I studied this photo over and over and in the small view on my iphone, it looks like the bricks are raised.  The artist was very clever in my view...


                        The detail is amazing

        I'm leaning to trompe loi which is an art technique to depict an object in three dimension.
