Near Soccoro, New Mexico.
This is the Very Large Array (VLA), an amazing set of radio telescopes.
We were fortunate that they were offering an "open house" that day, so we were able to view the computers, etc in the control area, as well as walk around some of these awesome structures.
They are managed from a railway specially constructed in the desert.

VLA is near Socorro, New Mexico:

Historic building near the pier in Astoria, Oregon. There were many immigrants in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, primarily due to the lumber industry.
This building survived the construction of the huge bridge over the Columbia River.

Ranger and Casa Grande (HWW)

Taken at Casa Grande National Monument. The ancient building is now under a protective cover. The ranger is describing the structure and its history. The walls are made of adobe from the topsoil of the desert. It must have taken quite a large group of people to excavate, form the adobe "bricks" and then erect the walls of this structure.
See PiP for more.
If you are in Arizona, be sure to visit the National Monument.
