Permian Blight

In the Permian Basin, southwest of Odessa, Texas

 

On my way to Big Bend National Park in 2018, I passed this massive graveyard of rusting equipment related to the oil industry--hundreds of acres of tanks, pipes, buildings, trucks, oil rigs and all manner of waste. I wonder how long it's been since the last lunch was served in this cafe?

 

In retrospect, I should have made this a Pano to show more of the extent of the decay.
