So I'm far out west, on the edge of Death Valley.  And the National Park therein.  My trip has taken me to the wonderful little town of Beatty, Nevada.  The main reason for this is so I can turn left and visit the remnants of Rhyolite on my way to DVNP.

While I'm driving through, just taking in the remoteness of the place and half waiting for the GPS to tell me my turn is coming up, I spot this.  I nearly missed my turn, wouldn't you know.  I'm not sure about all of the parts, but I see an old gas tank in there, along with some exhaust pipe. The hair appears to be metal shavings from the machine shop.  Not sure about the torch he's holding, it appears to be something you'd use to light a garden path.

Being the traveling photographer that I am, I had to document this discovery. And this is about the best angle I found to photograph it from, with street signs and traffic in the way elsewhere.

Nikon D3 with 85mm D lens.  Also note my experimental lens barrel watermark.  Should I put something inside the circle?
