Well, how about one shot on the road to Marfa from Fort Davis?

As for windmills there is this on a half-hour drive into a ranch from the nearest public road:

Just so you know that not all of Texas is rural and open, here's a scene right at the edge of downtown Austin. It shows a typical pothole repair crew at work on the street in front of my house as well as a bit of the front yard:

The prickly pear cactus in the foreground above produces fruit about the size of a California plum:

Those photos were taken with a good quality digital camera (nothing fancy), cropped as seemed appropriate, and resized to about 800 x 1000 pixels before uploading.

Kent-

Did you call in the crew to find your lucky Canadian Looney in the front yard?

Actually, there is a Canadian living down the street. I wouldn't call him loony, but you might since he started off in Ontario and ended up in Texas. I'd call him lucky.

Does he have his kilt on ?

Shhhhhhhhh Is it part of an amicable subterfuge to annex Austin to Moose Jaw ?

No, but when he's working outside in his yard he has a red jump suit on. I assume that this is a Canadian tradition?
