Desert scenes take many forms, from the very lush to the very desolate. This is obviously one of the latter. Strangely enough it was taken on a golf course.

I’m listening to a Bob Dylan song (Chimes of Freedom) right now. Perhaps that’s why a line from another one of his songs, Brownsville Girl (one of my favorites), came to mind for this image.
