A few years ago, I discovered these old corrals just down the road from my painting cabin at the base of the Vermilion Cliffs in Arizona. They have been weathered by decades of rain, wind, snow, and extreme heat. The splintered posts mirror the weathered lines in the red cliffs above. I am drawn to them over and over again, for some reason. Maybe because they feel like they can turn to dust at any moment? I'm doing my best to document them from time to time, for my own interest alone.
