Torrey Pines Preserve, La Jolla, California, USA. Being a semi-arid environment, the soil composition is such that it can hold a large quantity of water, enabling vegetation to survive. However, the moisture, coupled with temperature changes can 'blow out' the soil, creating interesting shapes.

It looks craggy to me Thad. Wonderful shapes and contrasts.

Impressive and beautiful are to me the proper words to describe your image, Thad. Perfectly done, my friend.

So that is the explanation. Beautiful shot of the vegetation with that barren area right in the middle of all.

Very interesting but I see the origin of some of California's brown hills my husband spoke of from when he lived out there.

The wide variety of rather exotic , for me , fauna and colors stand out so well with those soil configurations and make this photo so good. Really well put together Thad.
