Clouds in the Usery Mountains

This is a famous landmark sign on Usery Mountain. Although there aren't
many places at ground level this sign can be seen, it was originally
created as a navigational aid for airplane pilots.

Its letters are 100 feet (30m) high and are made from whitewashed rocks.

Photographed in the Sonoran Desert north of Mesa, Arizona USA.
