Sorry, Dick G., but we can recognize a fishing expedition when we see one. We are looking for the answer, not your thought processes. :o)

It's the metal sculpture in front of the Joshua Tree NP visitor center in Twentynine Palms. I was there for my daughter's spring break in 2009, but I don't remember it looking quite so bad. That is unless the lighter areas are paint that peeled off between the time this picture was taken and our visit.

Eric Nelson has also nailed Mystery Photo 42. That makes two so far.

This one is driving me nuts. I'm almost certain I've seen this thing, but can't for the life of me remember where.
