Side of the Road Art

Somewhere in NM or TX, along I-10 or I-40, I ran across this little rest stop with no facilities. I enjoyed looking at these simple stucco inlays of southwestern life. There was also a mini windmill there (taller than a man) that I'll share in my next pics.

I ran across so many little rest stops when I was van-dwelling by choice for a year. Wish I had taken more pics. Living on the road is fun but most of the time you're just looking, living, surviving and not thinking about taking pics.

I caught a flash of an unusual rock formation while going up the mountain yesterday and decided to try to find it again on my way back down. This is what I found. It was in the middle of nowhere and barely visible from the road. I was amazed.View attachment 433870View attachment 433871View attachment 433872

Very nice! I guess they were cemented, or something? Some look like they could be free-standing. Fun to walk along the paths of the inspirations of others.

I love to wander and take in the local culture. Those are interesting for sure.
 
Not really art and being right along the interstate and driving I couldn't get a photo.
After a tornado hit about 4 miles from me earlier this year it ripped a tarp or plastic signage for
a natural habitat area near. The half of the sign left after the storm passed said

Come Experience (jagged rip here)
Nature at it's best (rip continues)

the other half of the sign blew away, can't remember the whole saying prior to the storm.
