West Texas Watering Hole

On the road on the way back from Yellowstone/Teton last week. I found it interesting that this was the ONLY tree for miles around, right next to this water source, and it got me to wondering if the tree was thriving there first, or if it grew after the windmill and tank were constructed.

Sounds like the age old chicken & egg question Bill..
I'd probably go with the water first if I had to choose :wink:
The tree really pops out at ya in this setting/comp, with the red windmill & water basin giving a nice assist.
There's a great sense of what this area of West Texas is actually like as well :toast:
