One of my absolute favorite roadside attractions I've ever had the pleasure of driving past. Prada Marfa. It's not a real Prada store. And it's not really in Marfa, the town known for those mysterious, unexplained glowing lights.
This is a public art project installed alongside U.S. 90, just outside Valentine, Texas, in the middle of nowhere, West Texas. I've been to lots of middles of nowhere over the years, and no place does "middle of nowhere" better than Far West Texas, in that desolate No Man's Land that makes up the six-hour, full-tank-of-gas drive between El Paso and Big Bend National Park. (And yet they look so close on the map).
Visited December 2008.
