the swing by the tree
Taken at the oh so quirky, crazy, utterly unique artistic statement known as Salvation Mountain.
joshua tree national park
I was going through some images from our trip out west last Fall and, thought I would share these taken at Joshua Tree National Park.
We entered the park just east of Indio, CA, on the south side. Honestly, my first impression could be summed up like this, “So….. why is this a national park?”
After a short time, I changed my mind. The splendor and beauty of the stark, rugged, “not-of-this-planet” terrain became apparent, and, I was amazed at the minimalist, harsh, glory all around me.
If you are able, it would definitely be worth the trip. Thanks for stopping by.
take flight
Santa Barbara… a rare, cloudy, gray California day… seagulls… black and white… that’s all I got. Have a great week!
and into my heart
bible
For this post: back to Salvation Mountain, Niland, CA. There are 7 or 8 vehicles at this crazy, wonderfully offbeat artistic ode to God, His love and, the Bible.
just needs a new seat
The interior of one of the trucks at Salvation Mountain in California. It’s a bit of a fixer upper, but, I am sure a good mechanic will have no trouble. Thanks for stopping buy.
let us do the twist
Perhaps this is the “natural” state of this tree, or, “Man! Was it windy that day!”…. or… not quite sure…
there’s a person there!
I was just minding my own business… enjoying a hike in Joshua Tree National Park… taking in the view… taking this photo… when I noticed a PERSON STANDING on top of the middle outcropping of rocks on the left side of the image! (Click on the image for a larger view.) So crazy and, so cool!
cholla cactus garden
When we arrived at this cactus garden in Joshua Tree National Park – and now I am dating myself a bit – I could not help but think of that old, campy science fiction movie: Day of the Triffids. Anyway, this was a fascinating garden to visit and, it would be wonderful to return when these are in bloom… that movie used to scare me!
