Oddly relaxing, isn't it? Rocking horse/walking beam oil wellhead between Highway 101 and Union Pacific coast rail line on the Rincon north of Ventura, CA, 6-21-09. The Union Oil Company ("Union 76") and southern California's oil industry had their beginnings in Ventura County at nearby Santa Paula as well as here on the coast. The beach and Pacific Ocean are just over the hill and highway behind this wellhead.
Ah, I remember these from somewhere in my youth or childhood!
