I found this old place while out hunting ghost towns around Tombstone, Arizona. The actual area is a town called Elfrida, very near Chiricahua National Monument. The building was some kind of an old store that read TIMBUKTOO on the exterior. The weeds in the foreground are goathead stickers and man did I get massively stuck while getting in low for this angle.

Nice image.
(You might consider doing more comments on others' images, I seldom comment on posters who have low comment-to-post ratios.)

I love the creative and artist vision in this image Bob. It have a great story behind the weather look. The composition is very nicely done as well. What was this building?

The blue in this image really pops out on the right of the image and is faintly captured on the left. It is the type of image that allows one's thoughts to wander to the past and be curious about the people who occupied this structure and what caused the decline. It sounds as though you had some difficulties securing the image but it was clearly worth the effort. I like it.
