The View Behind

A rest stop, middle of nowhere. Pulled off the highway for the usual reasons — stretch the legs, check the map, let somebody use the bathroom. What I got instead was this. A lone dumpster parked at the edge of the lot, graffiti tag on one side, a safety cone standing watch next to it. Behind it, nothing but desert and a ridgeline running off into the distance. It's the kind of scene you don't expect to stop for, but the contrast was too good to pass up. Manmade clutter against geology that was here long before the asphalt and will be here long after. The dumpster is temporary. The view isn't.
