LARVALBUG LENS, November, 2018
It takes ingenuity to manage a ranch on the mountainous Chihuahuan Desert region of Presidio County in far west Texas, and this creative multi-lock gate mechanism proves it. With various parties needing access on the private road, including, but not limited to, owners, utility workers and law enforcement, this is one of the most artistically elegant solutions imaginable. It's simple, as long as you know which lock to use, remember the combination or key, and are good with spatial configurations so you can relock it properly after yourself.Val took the photo in late August, 2018, when she was a guest of one of the landowners in Candelaria, a border town on the Rio Grande. The mountains in the far background are in Mexico.
