Graffiti in the Desert
Today I would like to ask you all for your opinion, below are two photographs of the same thing except one is black and white and the other color. Let me know which one you prefer as I am not sure which I prefer.
This photograph was taken in Rice, California, a vacant town site in the Mojave Desert. The town of Rice was built around the railway that still runs through there, but the town is now all gone except for one structure that I will show you a photograph of later in the week. I love seeing places like this, it's like the ruins that are in every other part of the world except they are less that 50 years old. What's funny about it is that there is graffiti everywhere in Rice, but generally it's about a persons love for someone else. Even along the side of the railway line people have used different colored rocks to mark their name as a permanent record in the desert. Click on either image for a larger version.
