Basketball is a rough game…
especially if you are playing it on this court in this field.

You do desolation so well. If I got started on what I like about this photograph, I might never stop.

Thanks! There’s a lot of desolation around here, so I’ve had a bit of practice.

You need special balls and rules of play to have fun on this court. For one thing, dribbling is probably out.

BTW, very nice soft line of trees!

Thanks – I was trying to contrast the roughness of the basketball “court” with that fringe of trees, so I appreciate your noticing.

During dry season (which is roughly January-December) the ground is almost hard enough that dribbling would actually be an option. I think there are rules for interference from prairie dogs and/or tumbleweeds. Also, if I understand it correctly, during any overtime play, tumbleweeds are used IN PLACE OF a regulation basketball. That makes dribbling very difficult, since tumbleweeds are not inherently bouncy, and also makes traveling a certainty: it becomes a passing game at that point.
