The Blue Meanies - a photo on Flickriver

The Blue Meanies

            I love the desert, and am always saddened when I see garbage left in our wilderness.  However, this is actually a very hopeful shot, as the cans actually date back many, many years.  They were located near an old deserted mine on the outskirts of Death Valley.  They are hopeful, because I think they illustrate how far we've come.  40 years ago, a majority of people would think nothing about leaving their garbage behind.  Now those people represent a tiny minority.  We still have a way to go, but we are growing up.
