West Texas, II


















After the cattle were branded, a trailer was attached to a pick-up for transportation to the ranch. I took this shot out the window of the passenger side. To me, this photo captures how rural it is in this part of the state, by defining the essence of the saying "down the road apiece"—when "apiece" may mean ten miles or more. You can certainly see that far because of the flatness of the landscape.

For some reason, whenever I look at these roads pics, they remind me of "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas."
