Beautiful Photo of the Bakken

Beautiful photo of the Bakken sent in by a reader:


The photo was taken in section 12-153-100 last spring (2012). The well on the right is the AK Stangeland and the one on the left is either Basey or Kovars (same pad). The picture is taken from the northwest to the southeast.

This photo also has the distinction of being one of three "alternating" photos on the Oasis website

I remember years ago, one of the most famous / most recognized oil well photo of all time was one taken by Willistonite Bill Shemorry, whose photo of an active rig was on the back cover of the ATT telephone book (white pages/yellow pages). I kept a copy of that photo for years; it's possible it's still in a cardboard box of memorabilia somewhere.
