Old hangar

Tonopah, Nevada, USA. On an air base dating from World War II, with some Cold War activity following. The area is now being redeveloped as an industrial site.

Lone Joshua Tree

Outside the old Tonopah Airfield, Nevada, USA. I think this one may have been planted as an ornamental back when the base was operating in WW II, because it's a bit outside its range. Joshua trees are supposed to have gotten their name from Mormon emigrants, who thought they looked like Joshua beckoning them onward.
