Night, comes very fast, in the desert. Seems like only minutes, on the East side of the Rockies. And here, in Joshua Tree N.P., you better be close to your vehicle, and have a flashlight with you.

Beautiful Doug, just beautiful. I like the black/white as well and agree with LynEve, it sure makes it very dramatic. Very nicely done and thanks for sharing it. Anita

Be aware that the answers to all you are seeking are within you.
What a unique image, Doug. I think the black and white captured something that would never have come through in color.

Thank you for always sticking with me! My gallery.
I have to agree with those above. Normally I don't favor B&W over Color ... but there's no question B&W was perfect for this image. It captures the textures in the night sky and grassland just beautifully. Very much like the composition on this one too Doug. That tree or cactus (unfamiliar with it) is placed perfectly. The tiny bits of the night sky on some of it's needle points make for excellent detail. You have a winner here in my opinion.

Just an old "Grampa" who still has a Kodak "Box" camera kicking around the attic ... learning and enjoying the wonders of modern digital photography.
The B / W is perfect for this image. I love the silhouettes of the Joshua Tree & the rocky background against the darkening sky. Very nicely done Doug.

Friends are like shining stars. You may not always see them, but you know they are always there for you.
Wow, this is fabulous! I love the B&W. Works wonderfully. I also love your prose...kinda spooky!! Well done!

The Bible tells us to love our neighbors, and also to love our enemies; probably because generally they are the same people.

Spooky looking. I bet the landscape takes on all kinds of shapes in the dark.The B&W is the only effective way this could have been posted. It's perfect.

Very cool picture.. I really like the black and white for this subject. It sets the mood right. You did a very great job!

This is a beautifully dramatic shot, Doug. Love the b&w. Makes a very unique wallpaper.

Excellent silouette, Doug. Very dramatic, and now in my screenshow.
BTW, I'm glad you liked my shot of the young couple. I've not been shooting at all lately. This place is several blocks from where we live and I finally shot it the other day for the first time. Cheers! - Dave

Suicide is man's way of tell God "YOU CAN'T FIRE ME I QUIT."
Looks desolate and lonely. I like the B&W on this one Doug.

Hey Doug....I've been slowly going thru your gallery...and this photo here just is amazing to me. I would never ever have thought this would look good in black and white, but wow...talk about drama! Its wonderful!!The silhouette of the tree, a Joshua tree,,, I've never seen one for real...well, its just lovely....the textures just flow thru this photo...Verena

I have had nothing much for a long time, and I still have some of it left.
Night Shades Falling. - The Joshua Tree intrigues me. Something like a giant cactus, I suppose.
In the early days, they were widely used in making furniture, as they were the only trees, in the desert.
Glad you liked it, Verens.
