Monahans Sandhills State Park.
This park is in the Permian Oil Basin of West Texas and the area is booming because of oil wells and fracking for natural gas. One hotel cost $550 per night so we stayed in a cheaper one for $190. So many workers have come to the area that there are not enough places for them all to stay, hence the high prices.
Three guys parked next to us slept in their truck. There are many collections of travel trailers for workers.
This sunset was pretty colorless but thanks to Lightroom and Serge Ramelli's presets it came out fairly nice.

Bert, great captures and pp on all. Ben there a few times when living in Midland, 1967-1980.Great area and people.
Nice--I enjoyed seeing these.
Nice set! Grew up in Texas and my uncle had a ranch and oil wells in that area. You captured an interesting side of that area.
