 Another Texas sunset! This is a pumpjack (for those not familiar with them) it is used to pump oil out of the ground after the well has been drilled. They are a familiar sight around here. PP:

Beautiful shot. Some might call it a shoehorned shot, but I'm not one of them.

Love the shilloutte of the rig and the colours in the sky are brilliant - are they untouched? The Powerlines in background put me off though - distracting. Still a good shot.

A damn good photo, and I'll rate it on that. I must say its also a damn important message. I'd of loved the title Pure Damnation.
