This really is 'No Country for Old Men' 

In this West Texas town you need to leave a guard on your car or 'There will be blood'.

We found a great food truck for lunch, The Food Shark;

Marfa is famous for its art and artists (and a Giant success at the Oscars) so we spent the day touring the Chinati art collections.

Quote from their website;
Chinati is an internationally known contemporary art museum founded by minimalist artist Donald Judd.  It exhibits large scale installations by a limited number of artists on the grounds of Fort D. A. Russell and in buildings in the town of Marfa.  Chinati features paintings, sculptures, poems, installations, drawings and other works by renowned artists Donald Judd, John Chamberlain, Claus Oldenburg & Choose van Bruggen, Dan Flavin, Ilya Kabakov, Roni Horn and many more.



Some really interesting concrete boxes in odd groups in a field;

And the most amazing collection of huge aluminum boxes in two warehouses;

Strange cloud formation over the art gallery housing the '100 untitled works in mill aluminum'.

Both the Concrete and Aluminum boxes are by Donald Judd. 

Well worth a visit.
