Desert Graffiti

Neither in EPA nor around the bay, these photographs are from a vacation in the desert south of Palm Springs.There are many abandoned buildings down around the Salton Sea.In this building, I disturbed some birds, and in turn was startled by their flapping, just like in a post-apocalyptic movie.                                  Desert wheat pastes.

                                            Portrait of the artist.Desert stencil graffiti. If you know who this is, please write a comment. Thank you.

Edit: my scholarly sister wrote in to say it’s Edgar Allen Poe.
