Title is a quote from the John Waters movie "Desparate Living"

So many DNMC comments - partly my fault for the sarcastic title. It really did seem sad to me at the time that this trailer had been abandonded out in the middle of all that spendor. But I can appreciate that the main focus of this is the beauty. I'm happy to have had an opportunity to post this, in spite of the score.

Glad you did post it. Just gorgeous. Even if it's not sad :-)

Nice red dirt. I'd be sad if I had to clean that off.

Your picture begs to differ.

It sure feels empty. I can just imagine Hank Williams on the radio and the smell of stale beer. the framing makes this shot very strong, and finding a trailer that matches the soil is a real bonus.

I love this picture, but to me it doesn't evoke sadness... this person could be living the dream out in that beautiful landscape. With that being said, sadness is each to ones on, this may be very said to the photographer. It's a great picture.

I really like the image for its colors and perspective, but it doesn't convey sadness to me

Not feeling in this photo. Too bright and a nice bluebird day. Sorry but the trailer doesn't change it enough for me.

I remember this part of AZ well. The butte on the far left is quite familiar to me. "Los Gigantes Buttes" Well composed shot, good colors.

Striking scene, seems more stark than sad.
