Silhouettes In The Sunset

Cattle Drive

In Southeastern New Mexico, near the city of Jal, is a magnificent display of animal silhouettes.  A rancher near Jal created the metal images of this humble cattle drive.  Each piece is made of heavy gauge sheet metal and the tallest piece is a horse and rider standing approximately 12 feet tall.

This  cattle drive can be seen just West of highway 18 on the side of the hill and represents a panoramic story of both present and past western cattle drives in the Southwest.  The silhouettes are placed so that travelers driving by can witness these black figurines with the grandeur of a magical western sunset as their background setting.  The images become a living historical cinema.
