RANCHING SCENE Painted by Lavada Rodgers and Gloria Jenkins in
1997
Campo Café, Campo Colorado
Contributed by Gerald
Thurman of Tempe, Arizona
The town of Campo is located in the southeast corner
of Colorado in the Comanche National Grasslands. Campo
is about six miles north of the Oklahoma panhandle and
about 20 miles west of the Kansas border. US Highways
287 and 385 pass north/south through Campo. This mural
is located on the north wall of the Campo Café.
What is fascinating about this view is the perspective
of the path that leads to the barn. Gerald Thurman reports
that no matter where you view the mural -- left or right
side or from the front -- the path seems to move so
that start of the path is directly in front of you.
Gerald took a series of photographs of this mural that
show this visual effect. You
can view them here.
