Drilling at Dusk

I pass this oil well several times a day on my commute. At first I was a bit upset by its being placed in my otherwise lovely view. After a short time though, I have grown really fond of this night-light. I'll miss it when its gone.

Neat phot and story. But why will it be gone? Is it going away?

Thanks so much Fanny Brown Rice. The drilling rig will disappear when its done drilling and it will be replaced by a pumping rig. We like to call them grasshoppers because they look like a giant insect that moves up and down. One of these days (tomarrow?) Im going to drive out to an the oil field and do a panorama were you are surrounded by pumps as far as the eye can see.

Ohhhh. Wild. I feel I've learned a lot -- way more than I expected. Thanks SO MUCH. I did not know of these drilling rigs. (blush!)

Lovely shot- I'm also just starting to see beauty in these kinds of things- they give off great light, and can have lovely shapes.
