More Info for people who like to read more text:

Horizons and skies, crickets singing in the mesquite bushes and the Southern Pacific passing at a close distance: The town of Lobo next to the highway 90 comprises nine houses, a motel, a gas station and for most time in the course of years it lies in dreamy silence. Yet, for 4 days this September, it sprouted a three-day cinematic and music festival that attracted travelers and artists alike.
Twenty miles further to the East lies Valentine, once inhabited by about 3000 people,  with lovers coming from wide and far to have their post cards stamped there for Valentines Day.
A creaking windmill in the fields, a Mexican band playing, the Southern Pacific…: The sounds of the South Texan prairie revolve around notions of transit and distance, of silence and feast, labour, car maintenance and weather, crisscrossed at irregular intervals by the hooting and rattling locomotives.
