The Mojave Desert is blessed with litter. Yes, litter! Since our deserts are so hot and dry, old discards from the late 1800s through the 1970s are better preserved and considered and often demand good money to the collector.

You have a lot of really nice photos here. It's a pleasure to visit.

I'm one of the nuts who sees beauty in this. I love this stuff.
There are tiny towns in the desert (JT knows this) where you can buy bits of junk from the old guys who have been out prospecting in the detritus the miners left behind. It was trash then. It's gold now.
Great composition, I really enjoy your photos.
