Tonight some storms came in to town, and I decided to grab my camera and run outside of town to see the sunset.

About two miles outside of town, I decided to turn down a dirt road, looking for the perfect spot to sit and wait.

I started taking some pictures of this pump while I was waiting, and this shot I really liked. I wanted my shot for tonight to sum up West Texas, and I think this does a pretty good job.

While I was shooting this, the wind picked up on me, and I got hit by a fast gust of wind. Unfortunately, I was not on the best footing when I was shooting, so down I went.

According to the weather, during this storm we were getting wind speeds up to 60 mph. and I felt it.
