Desert Cabin

An old homestead cabin out near Joshua Tree in the S CA desert. Nothing fancy, that's for sure. But it reminds me of the "old west", is fun to photograph, and is walking distance from our place!
 The view east.

The view south. Those hills are Joshua Tree National Park.

The view north. My wife calls this the "Scooby Doo" van! You can see the concrete blocks that are used to hold the plywood over the tires to keep them from rotting in the sun. But like everything in the desert, it is slowly falling apart and blowing away.

Did I mention the amazing views from this little cabin! Big open vistas in every direction. It's too bad this little place has sat vacant for years now. It's got a ton of potential.

Linking with Skywatch Friday. Click on the link to check out great skies from around the world!!

    Maybe fix up the cabin and advertise as an AirBnb, it's going to be a bestseller for sure.

    Awesome pictures!!! Nearly the blue hour I think.
    No souls miles around, that are images you can't find in Belgium. And surely not such wooden 'hut' to live in. Very photogenic anyway, and so is the van!
    Have a nice weekend, Hilde
