The Leaning Tower of Britten

The Leaning Tower of Britten • Day Four
Wikipedia tells me it was originally a functionally water tower that was slated for demolition. It found new life when purchased and moved by Ralph Britten to advertise his truck stop and information center. It was purposely (and brilliantly) reinstalled at a roughly 10-degree angle and given its new moniker. Apparently it is also referred to as the Leaning Tower of Texas. It is definitely a novelty – a quick stop that was very fun to photograph.
It also presented well for my 2117 series, as did the view in the opposite direction.

000 About This Series
From April 12 through April 20, 2025, I was on a Route 66 Photography Adventure (The Trip) with three good friends and like minded photographers. This series is recap of The Trip in stories and images.
All of the images were shot on that historic road or within a couple of miles of it. Neither the images nor stories are necessarily presented in chronological order.
