Afton Gin

Afton, Dickens County, Texas

The gin at Afton sits at the curve of FM 193. Seen here near a late-winter sunset, the gin's waxing silhouette features typical blueish gray corrugated metal with splotches of rust becoming more evident. The community's water tower is visible in the foreground.
