Earth, bearing strange trees (The International Car Forest of the Last Church)

There is a huge art installation in the desert on the outskirts of Goldfield. Vehicles of several kinds have been arranged on or in the ground and painted in a variety of eclectic themes and motifs.
And that's all I can say in words. Nothing can really convey the heat or dust, the mountain-bike-park irregularity of the tracks, the arresting strangeness of the art itself, or the weird stillness of the air ...

Go there if you can. (Turn east from 95 onto Crystal Ave (it's north of Oasis, south of Elliot) and follow the road a scant quarter of a mile, then follow the signs southeast. The road's dirt, but Harry had no trouble.) Or https://www.facebook.com/carforest/
