Just visible, with magnification, a large wind farm. Very appropriate.
Then coming into Portales, near Clovis, a reminder that there is, or was, grain produced in the region.
Reviewing my ride animation helps me realize that more is going on than meets the eye from the road. Takes some finding though!
