Decay

Have I mentioned I love old, rusted, and broken things (well, for photographs at least)? One of the best things about the desert is that old things don't decay as fast or get swallowed up by nature like they do in wetter places. I have never yet been disappointed in my old-things explorations on any desert trip.

The ruins of the Marsical quicksilver mine in Big Bend were really great, though somewhat toxic. It is all ok as long as you don't touch anything.





Rusted cars dot the desert.





An old sign in Tombstone was too cool to pass up.





We also found this great container of rusting food cans.
