I won't pretend
to understand
the movement of the wind
or the waves in the ocean
or how like the hours
I change softly
slowly
plainly
blindly
oh me
oh my!

1928

When oil was discovered along the Kern River bank in 1899 near Bakersfield, California, thousands of fortune seekers, oil companies, and railroads rushed to the state, setting up oil fields up and down the coast. This particular picture is from Huntington Beach (Surf City).

…Which still looks pretty much like this to this day. Sometimes from the pier you can see a band of orange-green all across the horizon.
