The giant pistachio near Alamogordo

I stopped at the giant pistachio near Alamogordo, New Mexico, in February 2024, the same day Laura and I were out on the dunes at White Sands. It's a huge cream colored shell split open to show the green nut inside, standing on a stone base with a plaque in front. It was late afternoon, around 59, with the wind blowing around 15 miles an hour.

That's my shoulder in the patterned shirt on the right side of the frame. Behind the pistachio there's a white fence and flat desert running out to the horizon.
