A polar bear towers into the dark, stormy sky. The White King. A dirty window covered in rain drops. Scattered pools of water glowing bright red off the the black pavement. The surreal scene inspired me to get out in the wind and rain and walk around the grit for blocks.

It was so bizzare to run into a giant polar bear in the desert during a rare rain storm. King of a melting world, it towered above an empty parking lot as the mascot of a dilapidated casino by the same same, in the remote small town of Elko, Nevada.
