However, used over several years...

You'd be surprised at how much christmas decorations cost, to lease/buy and to install etc.

I'm not sure what the fuss about the artificiality of it is all about. Artificial trees are often used in in town centres and shopping areas.

I appreciate the argument for something that might last more than one season. This cone didn't even last a whole season due to vandalism (or was it high wind?).

I'd have said Texas then, somewhere heading down towards Big Bend ?

But TBH it might be New Mexico or even CA.   It really is somewhere I've been, I'm sure.

Keep naming western states--there are only so many, so you'll get it eventually.  ;)

well, if it's near the border and it's not CA, TX or NM I suppose there's a good chance it's AZ :)

Cacti look wrong for the Sonoran though...

Looks familiar to me as well, but I was thinking of UT-12 east of Bryce Canyon, and that clearly en't right.

Ooooo. That place in France that was turned over by the Nazis in retaliation for something and which was left as it was at the end of the war.

Name escapes me. (Could you tell ?)

...incorrect.  ;) At the slightly higher elevations of the southern Sonoran, you find huge "stands" ("forests" sounds wrong...) of saguaros.

The picture was taken in the western portion of Saguaro National Park, near Tucson.
