A photograph of the United States Department of Agriculture's Southern Plains Experimental Range taken in the late afternoon. Included among the plants in the photograph are sand lillies, sunflowers, sand sage and bluestem.

It is no longer possible to take this photo of this location. When I returned the following summer, Oklahoma Gas & Electric had built a wind farm along the northern boundary of the USDA property. Now the view is cluttered with wind powered generators. See http://www.pbase.com/richarda/image/87064156.
