FridayNightArt in Harlingen Texas.

The Art

In the early morning hours, Sylvia and I traveled North of Harlingen (in the Rio Grande Valley) to explore the endless fields of wind turbines. These "windmills" stretch from the Intercostal Highway to the Gulf of Mexico thirty miles to the east. We ended up on gravel utility roads atop levees amongst hawks, coyotes, and jackrabbits. It's like the last chance for breakfast for everybody before the sun beats down taking the breath out of most living creatures. Despite the wildlife, the dominating presence is the sun. I know why Van Gogh painted it. We are but prisoners on the earth and the Sun is our guard, feeding us energy...saying nothing...willing to kill us if we travel without water.
