Description
Somewhere between Mountainair and Moriarty NM, I discovered abandoned agricultural equipment.
It was toward the end of the day, the sun was setting, and these machines took on the shape of sculptures in the desolate fields of a decaying farm. I wondered about the story behind this deserted former agricultural enterprise. No answer could be found at this hour of the day.
Instead I concentrated on the beauty of the machines being reclaimed by nature. Rust had started to break down the steel and weeds had encroached upon the innards of all the abandoned equipment.
Over time nature reclaims everything in a steady, determined manner. We think that we conquered nature but it is an illusion. Nature will conquer everything in a slow and unfaltering pace.
What does this teach us?
