The entrance in a farmer’s field fence to the Cadillac Ranch, just West of Amarillo, Texas. People are always permitted to paint and repaint everything here it seems. Today’s sign is “ZEB RA”

A swinging, spring-loaded gate welcomes anyone who drives by into the field dotted with cowpies.

A cow is witness (sadly for a brief time) at the changes to the paint on the Cadillac carcasses at the Cadillac Ranch. Tomorrow this cow will probably be steaks. I felt sad for him in a way..
