****CLICK ON A PHOTO TO ENLARGE IT****

Joshua Tree National Park is located in California. The Colorado Desert comprises the eastern lower part of the Park; to the west is the higher and wetter Mojave Desert.

Joshua trees, yucca brevifolia, are found only in North America in the states of California, Arizona, Utah, and Nevada, mostly in the Mojave Desert between 2000 and 6000 feet elevation. They can grow up to 40 feet high and live for 200 or more years.

The Park has a fascinating geologic landscape of rugged mountains of twisted rock, rock piles of fantastic shapes which are a draw for rock climbers from around the world. For information about the formation of these rock piles, visit http://www.nps.gov/jotr/nature/features/geology/rockpiles/rocks.html

Fascinating gallery! Joshua Tree is a place I'd love to visit. The overcast sky and subdued but warm lighting creates a strange, slightly otherworldly atmosphere that I find very appealing. V!

Great gallery Ron, one of my favorite places to shoot. I like your inclusion of the climbers, it gives scale to these magnificent rocks.

Gorgeous gallery, Ron, with unique colors and your well thought-out compositions.

What I like here is the "monochrome" feeling, mostly yellow orange, that gives a unity to the gallery.

I agree with Kimberly, the pictures are wonderful.
