Drive - By Oil Field
a large field of "birds" pecking the ground for oil - at least that is what they look like with their non-stop up and down movement ....
in California on the road last March, and on my husband's side - so I had to lean across to get these shots :-)))

What a change with the previous picture.. !A little less poetic !
But we need this petrol...
I like this idea to call them pecking birds !

Diese Szene erinnert mich an ältere amerikanische Filme. Dein Vergleich mit den pickenden Vögeln gefällt mir übrigens sehr gut.LG Roswitha

It reminds me of a scene from a movie with Elizabeth Taylor and James Dean (Giant).Great shot
Ciao, Emilio

Fällt mir spontan ein Bild von James Dean zu ein, als er im Ölfeld stand .. "denn sie wissen nicht was sie tun.."Interessantes Bild - zeigt Californien nicht nur von seiner -ever summer- Seite

: ))) yes, i like the nodding donkey term, too! whenever we spotted a single one from our seats in the car as children, we considered ourselves lucky: "wow, did you see the oil pump?!" never seen that many in one place before! an entire field! it makes me think of the 50s movie "giant". the colors and light, too, by the way… great composition here, adele! our eyes first catch on the giant in the foreground, before realizing the striking abundance of them on the horizon! hugs, sabine.Markus 4 27/03/2014 9:24

Good industrial shot !Not really beautiful to see, but vital to the economy.

Das erinnert an die Gründerzeiten des Ölbooms. Unweigerlich muß ich an die TV-Serie "Dallas" und J.R.Ewing denken. Ein sehr interessantes Foto.Grüße Günter
