Upper story of the Annex from the courtyard at at Scotty's Castle in Death Valley National Park, California. The courtyard or enclosed patio, once filled with lavish patio furniture, served as an additional room. Grapevines grew from large planters on the ground to overhead lattice-work supported by hollowed out logs on the left side, and holes in the walls on the right. A tile and ironwork sundial mounted on the wall still tells the time today. Photo by Kathy Weiser-Alexander.
