I used to stroll along trails with my camera, we didn't have any forest or wooded areas but did have canyons, wildflowers, and cactus, picturesque canyon walls. At night you coud see the lights of the next small town fifteen miles away. We had a large raw
gas flare coming from a high pipe at one end of town that lit up the entire community. And sand hills, huge mounds of sand that
shifted with the winds very little year round. Of course these were intermingled with pump jacks, seperater units and storage
tanks. It was part of the oil patch that fueled America and kept her going. Situated along New Mexico's southern eastern
border. Trails, walking, hiking, picture taking, in an area almost isolated from the rest of society.
