Faux Old
Oro Valley, Arizona
2023

This wall is not as authentically old and antiquated as it looks. It was part of a large old west themed outdoor function area at the Hilton resort near where we were staying.  From this angle though, it view looks pretty convincing (with the exception of the sign on the building in the background). I believe the adobe bricks in the wall were in fact real adobe, and had certainly been aged by weather. The tree shadows on the wall were what drew me to take the photograph. (Both the tree and it’s shadow are 100% authentic of course.)
