Cadillac Ranch - decomposed

My daughter and I took a trip out to CA and stopped at the Cadillac Ranch outside of Amarillo, TX. It was cute but rather a disappointment 1. Mid-day and full sun (I am better at taking pics in the dark than in full sun - have to work on that) 2. Around the cars was stinky mud puddles and lots of trash - would have taken forever to clean up post processing. 3. Lots of people and had to maneuver quite a bit to get a pic without a person in it.

I wanted a nice memory of our stop here so I decided to go "pop" and make it more of a painting - what do you think? There could be so many better images than this at a different time but this is what I have ;)

You know the old saying, Fawn: "It's YOUR image, and you can do whatever YOU want to do with it unless it isn't what I'd have done with it which makes what you did just HORRIBLE!" <and then he spat>

Seriously, the only thing I'd have liked to see would be juuuust a little more space to the right of the closer-most, right hand Henge-Caddy. I'll accept, however, that maybe getting that little bit more might not have been feasible due to a herd of people, or a dumpster, or something equally discordant being there.

I can't think of anything to add to Cany's colorful impersonation and observations I do like the swirly look of your paint job. It makes for very pretty mud and seems appropriate for such a display.

Yes I totally agree - but you are correct, there was a family right there taking pics and another waiting so.... I think this is as good as it is going to get (it was pretty yucky and stinky such a shame) Oh well :(

Thanks Linda - always an encourager lol - the download looks better than the initial post but yet it is still pretty bad. I will post the original and see if anyone else can do better!

You got the sky the right color here. The original post seemed way off.

Ok since you invited us to give it a go. I know this is over the top and understand some will say what the heck was he thinking. But anyway here goes.

We look back in Wonder, awed by the genius of the ancients. How they transported these mighty, multi-ton markers from the Cadillac quarries of Wales to the plains of Texas, to mark the passage of the sun, the moon, and the stars. How they'd hold their pagan rituals, offering up their Big Gulps and Cheetos bags to the deities of the past, and the CEO's of a future unknown to them, all to assure that the World would continue, and harmony amongst all people would reign.

Though of a different time and place and sentiment, I'm reminded of these words by Shelley:

My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
