Survival

Indio, California

Thousand Palms Oasis ~ along with prehistoric is that other word that impressed itself in my consciousness...survival.
This old and collapsed palm appeared to be nearing the end of its life cycle.

Nikon D850
1/8s f/11.0 at 35.0mm iso100 full exif

other sizes: small medium large auto

It has the look of some kind of large, prehistoric sea monster, washed ashore. Love the detail and intricacy. ~BV~

Losing the struggle to survive. I agree with David, a powerful image indeed, Carol.

I would add "hostile" to that list of word associations. An evocative image. V

It definitely does, and sad to see, but an excellent capture with most interesting color. V.

This makes a fantastic shot. It looks silvery, and architectural and very beautiful. VV
