Wow - I saw this photo and was immediately transported to my young childhood of watching western movies - cowboys and Indians with my dad & brother.
These cacti are incredible not sure if it’s true ‘ they live way past 100yrs’..
Thank you for sharing this photo - it is sad but it sure seen a lot of years and as you say ‘it’s still standing’

They can grow to be almost 80 feet tall and weigh as much as several tons. Knowing that the saguaro cactus commonly lives to be about 200 years old, I realized that all these different shapes and sizes must represent the cactus at its various stages of life.
