Fancy Junk of Van Horn Texas

Fancy Junk is decidedly not fancy but it is junk. The large front yard of this "rare & great unique" antiques and collectibles shop has a large collection of welded and painted metal / concrete art, ranging from the dented rusted turkey snake above to an oil drum dragon, VW Beetle shell festooned with Christmas tree lights, and a revolving pterodactyl mobile.
