a place where the desert feels soft until you try to work inside of it

Less than a minute

The basin was quiet

The Big Bend NASA Pod Big Bend I photographed it just afterBig Bend Region, Texas We call it this the NASA Pod for obvious reasons. It isnt a spacecraft its an old cement mixer, abandoned in the desert and slowly being reclaimed by dust and time. But the first time you see it lying there under a night sky, glowing like something radioactive and misplaced, it feels less like construction equipment and more like debris from another era. Thats how Big Bend can be sometimes, you head out looking for mountains,
