They Rode On.

By  Mark Tamer 2016
I'm reading Cormac McCarthy's brilliant and very brutal Blood Meridian at the same time as I created this image from a light leak at the end of a 35mm film roll. The two seemed to fit together. The line "They rode on" appears many times as punctuation between the bloody events in the story.
