Cadillac Ranch

Day 17: An art piece

I live close to an "art piece" that makes my day each time I see it.  Cadillac Ranch is one of those art pieces that is so random and so unique and so funny that you can't help but feel intrigued.  Stanley Marsh is the artist.  He is famous for his signs that carry funny slogans that he has scattered all over Amarillo, Texas.  He is also famous for his "floating mesa" and a pair of shoeless feet that sit in a field somewhere near Canyon, Texas.  Cadillac Ranch, situated in Bushland, Texas, has to be my favorite.  It's made up of ten old Cadillacs positioned in a straight horizontal line in the middle of a field.  Each day, hundreds upon hundreds of people come to photograph and spray paint the cars.  Cadillac Ranch is unique and beautiful in its own special way, especially when it's raining or there is a sunset or a white layer of snow across everything.
