"The artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place; from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider’s web." Pablo Picasso
Wow, it looks absolutely beautiful... I wish I could live somewhere like this so I could have a Joshua tree without it dying in my garden. It looks so strong, like it knows life more than any of us could... and yet it is still so fresh. The B&W somehow seems to accentuate the conditions it thrives in :oD
I like the shot and it does look hot. What I don't like is the blurry parts of the image. Was it so hot that you just slowed down as you drove by with the AC on? ;)
