Derelict Vehicles in the Desert - The Eyesore Reconsidered

My friend's 5 acres in the high desert near 29 Palms, Calif. seems to attract cars and trucks my friend and his friends "store" there, with some hope that,  with enough time and money these derelict vehicles will be resurrected. There has in fact been some turn-over. I pay a visit almost every Spring for the annual party thrown by my 5 acre desert friend. Always with a camera.

Why I like the window seat - Some shots between California and Oregon on Alaska Air.

Most of these images were taken in Spring 2013,  from above the California San Joaquin Valley, looking down into agribusiness. The Valley is sometimes given the name, " America's Salad Bowl".  Jim Staub Nov. 2013
