Texas: Cadillac Ranch in Amarillo

Well, we drove to and from Amarillo today to do some errands, but we also took our cameras – just in case we had time to visit the Cadillac Ranch!

Cadillac Ranch is an art installation that invites folks to visit and interact by spray painting the 10 Cadillacs buried there. This is the second time we’ve visited, and it is all but impossible to view without other people. Now, with patience, you can get photos without people.  😀

The Cadillac paint never stays the same. I'm pretty sure this one was different by the time I left.

Lots of times, there is evidence that way too much fresh spray paint is slowly rolling down the hood of the car.

Rear view

Sometimes, the spray paint on the rear of the car is more interesting than the front.

Really cool to see the back of these Cadillacs.

This looks like a bent over stick figure man with his head down. What do you think?

Side view

Even the side view, with the sky as a beautiful background, is pretty interesting.

Someone was very patient painting this Cadillac - a lot of paint was required to make the depth so they could make a smiley face.

It was great that the weather cooperated with some white fluffy clouds to add drama in the background for this Cadillac.
