Oil field art, Throckmorton County, Texas
Taken a bit over two miles west of the Throckmorton County - Young County line on the north side of RT 380, here's an oil tank battery and separator, one oil tank being a "misfit", having been painted with deep-sea creatures. In a few days I'll drive back out there and see what the other side of the tank looks like. The work seems incomplete, with a lot more steel "canvas" being available. Some prep work looks like it needs to be done before any more paint work is started. The area is loaded with restricted access signs so the artist must have had permission from the oil company to decorate the tank. Driving west on 380 you might not notice it, but going east it's hard to miss.
Some wells can be dangerous, emitting hazardous levels of Hydrogen Sulfide gas. If H2S is present warning signs would be posted, possibly a wind sock to indicate wind direction, and the odor of rotten eggs would be VERY noticeable. I saw no warning signs here.
Taken with a Nikon D3500, Nikkor-H 85mm f1.8 lens, and an Iscorama anamorphic lens (1968 version).
