These magnificent steel sculptures will last 200+ years in the desert, easily! That very light coating of rust on the surfaces will actually form a protective barrier and stop the rust from going any further. Unless they're destroyed by the biggest destructive force on the planet...man. Thanks for this video, you do great work.

They are absolutely stunning. I love this type of 'random' art in obscure places. My soulmate and I (rest her soul) once spent a week standing up large ocean weathered logs on a beach we lived on. We'd dig a hole then stand the logs and fill the sand around them. Some were 10 to 12 feet high and looked like sentinels on the beach. We knew that eventually a King tide or storm would knock them over, but for a while, they stood out along the beach. We did this for about a kilometre (something of a mile LOL) along the beach. Probably 20 or 30 of them. Walker Bay beach near Cooktown Queensland Australia for anyone interested. We lived on the beach in a camp and worked in town. Dream lifestyle.

Enjoyed the video and the scenery is spectacular! The crude welding is likely because thin metal like those sculptures are made from (1/16” maybe?) can be real tricky to weld without burning through it. Small tack welds along the seams are enough to hold it together without making full welds.
