makeshift
You can tell it’s cattle country when you go in a church and see a stock tank that’s been repurposed to serve as a altar. (A question: do you think the pastor takes Jesus and stuff off the altar, turns it over, and fills it with water so it can be used for baptisms? Or for thirsty church-cows?)

Stock Tank and the Cathedral Mountains
I’m not tall enough to get the shot I wanted, so I made this one by holding the camera as high above my head as I could reach and shooting it blind.
Just over to my left, a very large steer stood in the shade, watching the procedures. And off in the distance, the Cathedral Mountains.
It’s hard to think of anyplace I rather be than right here.
