I have fallen in love with Joshua Tree National Park.  It’s other-worldly.  The granite rocks are weathered into an endless variety of formations that encourage exploration.    They tell stories, their narratives changing with the changing light.  The plants are unique and fanciful.  The landscape begs to be photographed in black & white.  

 

The color palette is muted and rather monochromatic, punctuated by blooms of yellow cholla and other small cacti and emboldened by twilight.  Read more about Joshua Tree in my blog.https://www.judyannejohnsonphotography.com/post/joshua-tree-love-affair
