XTI, 70-200f4L @ 176MM, f16, 1/3 ISO 100, Tripod, Sepia toned. Its hard to find abandoned buildings in the desert without grafitti.

Isn't that the truth. I devote a lot of effort to visiting remote cliff dwellings, and I'm yet to find one without modern "art" to compliment that left by the ancients. It's a sickness.

Your comp is strong, with the larger scene managing to reach through the grafitti, even as I'm still aware of it. That creates good visual "tension" for me, emphasizing the travesty.

Even in the middle of nowhere there not safe. Sad. Yes, as Hank said, very strong image here. Well done.
