Center, Colorado.

Center in the middle of the San Luis Valley has more agricultural industry than anywhere else in the valley. It’s a loading point for grains, fertilizer and potatoes that move south to connect to train lines that take those products out into the country. The town is otherwise nondescript save for a concentration of transportation and storage right in the center, with tracks heading north and south, a large water tower, and processing factories to the north and south.

Not much more to say about the evening meeting of these two icons, one American, one global, both about something bigger.

En route to Antonito, Colorado, in a wash between the Conejos River and its northern branch, there’s a small farm and a hay bale wall visible through the trees from Highway 285.
