Living on the Rez. The indian reservations in the US are a rather sad sight. Poverty is rife and with all its myriad of problems that accompany it. Tires on the roof made no sense to me, but it looked better than the humongous mule deer carcass that I saw on another roof later that day.

It does look rather bleak.

I've never seen anything like that, so I had to call my buddy Google: https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070305162401AAlMp00

Hard to imagine that people are living in the US in such poverty in 2014.

@bill_fe wow, thanx for the link. wind. makes sense. that place is windy as heck.

[Krista Marson]

@bill_fe but the link says nothing of deer carcasses....!

[Cheri]

Yep - heavy items hold the roof down - so sad to see our Native Americans living like this. Your photo captures the bleakness

It reminds me a lot of the desert areas of Southern Africa.

@blueberry1222 Sorry, I didn't look that one up. ;-)

Interesting shot!

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Oh wow, interesting information and an interesting shot.

[Mark Pratt]

You have really captured the feeling of what a reservation is like. And it is not just the remote ones, the ones in close to the major cities, at least in AZ, are like this too.

@mpratt yup. got one right down the street from me.....
