Description
The pumped crude needs to be stored. This is the same oil field, same location. north of Bakersfield along highway 65. This view is toward the Southeast, the previous picture was toward the Southwest. On trips to California, we usually don't see oil fields, and we never think about where it came from or how it was produced, but we take it for granted.
This is the last day of my trip, and i will be home tonight 1/2 hour after midnight, 23 August 2015. I have driven 6,745 miles in the last 2 weeks and I used my fair share of this product, in the form of super unleaded.
This picture was taken on 22 August 2015, Sig...

great capture. when I lived in Houston, I got first hand experience with oil refineries when two different ones blew up. one because of lightning and my white work van (white) was a ugly cruddy grey/black color when it rained crude oil
interesting capture
Very interesting and well taken !!
My bike doesn't need any of this, but I would not be going 6,745 miles in 2 weeks on it.
Superb capture my friend. God bless.
cool view
Great capture!
When we moved to our home in Long Beach, California, at the time of the Watts riots in LA, the land surrounding our little development was all dairy farms, It wasn't long at all before they disappeared and became more and more spreading housing developments and vast fields of oil storage tanks...this is a familiar sight to me!
