I had pre-visualized a scene such as this one and was driving the highways and back roads near the town of Mojave, California, racing the waning sunset, searching for a Joshua tree to match my vision. I noticed this one right off the highway, but in my haste to get to it, tore my pants on a barbed wire fence. It was worth it, though. I love the way that the Joshua tree leans into the left part of the scene, while the sunset seems to lean right. (More of Steve's images can be found at www.facebook.com/mountainsongphotography)
