Cadillac Ranch is an interactive art installation found in the remote plains of the Texas Panhandle, west of Amarillo along Interstate 40. It has stood there for nearly 50 years, having been first erected in 1974 as a project by the art group known as Ant Farm. The monument consists of ten Cadillacs, spanning the production years of 1949-1963, lined up and half-buried in the dirt such that their back ends with their distinctive tail fins stand tall over the flat ground. This art installation is highly interactive; the public is encouraged to enter through the gate onto the private land, walk up to the installation, and add their own spray paint graffiti. Due to the ongoing public additions, the cars are left with a very thick layer of paint and are wildly colorful. The Wild Images Team captured this eastward facing photo at the moment of sunset, capturing the long shadows on the left side of the image from the other Cadillacs in the installation. Blog posts from state of Texas include the art created by the line of sunken monuments at Cadillac Ranch and the textures created by thick layers of paint covering the monuments at Cadillac Ranch. A blog post from nearby state of Missouri includes the Route 66 sign of The Uranus Fudge Factory. The Wild Images Team has captured many photos throughout the somewhat nearby city of Chicago, including the blue skyscrapers of The Grant and One Museum Park, which is available for sale in our store. Blog posts from Chicago have documented the view of the Wabash Avenue elevated train, the ornate art deco brown buildings of old town Chicago, the interesting curious foxes of the small green space, when The Wild Images Team Coordinator Christina sat at the stone desk, the hidden colorful fire escape framed by trees, the day The Wild Images Team finally found the heart of Chicago, the moment when giant headless zombies took over Grant Park, and at the head of the Navy Pier where sits the bronze sculpture Captain On The Helm. Blog posts from the somewhat nearby state of Minnesota include the moment that The Wild Images Team Coordinator Christina becomes the Jolly Green Giant, the moment that The Wild Images Team Coordinator Christina becomes the Little Green Sprout, and a scene of The Wild Images Team Coordinator Christina underneath a life size Jolly Green Giant.
