Default Visit to the Desert
Just got back from a trip to the high desert of California with the family. Spent an evening in Joshua Tree National Park. Here are a few of the shots of the quiet solitude.

Enjoy! And your comments are always welcome.

Greg those are some great shots. Looks like you were completely alone in there. Did you use a polarizer on those last two, the sky in them is amazingly blue.

Really nice shots. Were you shooting for a tourist magazine by any chance? It looks like it.

Love the sky in all of those. They're all so good, I don't think I can choose a favorite.
