This is a close up view of the cactus that I have been showing during the last few days. Upon close inspection, what look like thorns from a distance are not thorns at all, but are little painted dots. The skin of this cactus is not the green flesh of a saguaro, but is a painted cement or stucco. The paint is variable in color, with multiple shades of green, and a little gold accent. The answer to why they would put a fake cactus on the side of the road near our house will be revealed tomorrow.
There is a new problem that has arisen with these faux cacti. It turns out that they will need to have electrical meters installed on them. They were never intended to have electrical meters because they were supposed to be charged a uniform rate, but it turns out that they use more electricity than the rate structure allows for a flat charge. They were never designed to have an electrical meter, and who ever heard of a cactus with an electrical meter sticking on the side of it?
This week we are showing photos of the the Atacama Desert of northern Chiles on our Viva la Voyage travel photo site. The colors and landscape are spectacular.

Electrical meters on a fake cactus may not be much more strange than a fake cactus is to begin with.
