Wee Thump Sunset

The Wee Thump Joshua Tree Wilderness at sunset.

From the Nevada BLM website: "The name Wee Thump, or “ancient ones” in the Paiute language, tells the story of these Joshua trees. Growing just half an inch per year on average, the stand is home to some of the oldest and largest Joshua trees on the planet. These ancient ones have grown tall in the silence of the desert, some rising to more than 30 feet over 900 years. "
