It’s been a long time without rain in Arizona. I took this photo after hiking to one of my favorite water holes. Surprisingly it was completely dry. This has held water every year until 2017. It was precarious while walking across to get this photo. Columns would give away and the drop was almost 3 feet to some semi-stable ground.

This image presents a close-up view of a severely damaged wall, showcasing the effects of weathering and time. The wall's white plaster surface is marred by deep cracks, revealing the underlying brickwork. A significant triangular section of the plaster has broken away, exposing the red bricks and intertwined plant roots. The roots snake through the damaged area, suggesting prolonged neglect and the relentless encroachment of nature.
