Description
Joshua Tree National Park is in southeastern California, east of Los Angeles and San Bernardino, near Palm Springs. The park is named for the Joshua Trees native to the Mojave Desert. Originally declared a national monument in 1936, Joshua Tree was redesignated as a national park in 1994 when the U.S. Congress passed the California Desert Protection Act. Two distinct desert ecosystems, the Mojave and the Colorado Deserts, come together in Joshua Tree National Park where a fascinating variety of plants and animals make their homes in a land sculpted by strong winds and occasional torrents of rain. Dark night skies make it popular for Milky Way photography.

In addition to the banner, I am adding this more permanent recognition of its FEATURE on the homepage of A TREE OR TREES IN BLACK AND WHITE. I try mightily to feature only images that would be at home in a juried competition. No doubt about this image fitting that bill. Do consider entry in a juried exhibition. CONGRATULATIONS!
