Observing decay can be a beautiful thing, especially in the modern context. The Pima Boneyard in Tucson is one of a few mothball facilites where commercial and military aircrafts are retired and eventually stripped for parts.
Pima invited several contemporary artist to paint mural on the bodies of retired WWII aircrafts; the outcome is quite surreal. Give yourself a four-day weekend, fill up your tank with gas and make the trek to Tucson for this exhibit.
