Desert Branches
Desert Branches” — Branches with sparse foliage, Red Rock Canyon State Park.
This was most definitely not the subject I was looking for at this place.We were on the long drive back to California after a few weeks of photography in Utah when we decided to make a quick stop at the Red Rock Canyon State Park in the desert regions of Southern California. The main visual target there was to be the fantastically eroded formations — that least we would see that felt a bit like the Southwest as we headed home.
We arrived late in the day, just before sunset. Because the hills near the entrance face east, the area was already in the early evening shadows. We photographed the red rock formations in the soft, blue-tinted light, and at some point I happened to spot these sparse plants silhouetted against bright ground in the distance and illuminated by the evening’s bluish light.
