Description
I don’t know why, but it amuses me that man simply goes about his business in the desert. Somehow, the usual trope of dominating the environment until it crumbles beneath him is reversed. His activities, his industry, seem overpowered by the immensity of the Mojave, my mundane frame of reference. Here we see a tank, installed for what might be a perfectly good reason. But it struck me as kind of lonely just sitting outside by itself in the middle of expanding sand and unrelenting sun.
