The Blue Meanies

I love the desert, and am always saddened when I see garbage left in our wilderness. However, this is actually a very hopeful shot, as the cans actually date back many, many years. They were located near an old deserted mine on the outskirts of Death Valley. They are hopeful, because I think they illustrate how far we've come. 40 years ago, a majority of people would think nothing about leaving their garbage behind. Now those people represent a tiny minority. We still have a way to go, but we are growing up.
