Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument on the US/Mexican border, a place of amazing desert plants, quiet solitude, beautiful sunshine and occasional, dramatic rain, but also where reminders of political tensions are never too far away. A strange and beguiling place that I like very much

Mike, beautiful photos. My four years in Tucson has given me an unexpected love and admiration for the Sonoran Desert. It brings awe, fear and a world of life to me. Thanks for the posting.
Go well, David
Thank you David, I enjoyed my brief tour of the desert landscapes immensely and especially camping out, to really get into the silence and beauty. So very different from where I’m from. I hope you enjoy every minute of living there, I envy you, but then, having read your bio, perhaps I may not have envied every part of your life journey, you’ve obviously been through a lot. Thanks for commenting and keep up the beautiful writing, Mike
I’ve been there and it is every bit as beautiful as you say!
Glad you loved it too!
I love the skies in these. Beautiful contrasts.
Thank you me too, I could photo them all day!
I love Organ Pipe. Actually, I love all the desert parks.
Have you dipped south enough to see the wall? It is still distressing. I hope I never find it “normal” to have it sever our area.
The road that runs along the border was closed, I really wanted to see it. We found the security presence all a bit depressing but it didn’t spoil the beauty. Arizona is a gorgeous state!
Beautiful images of the desert!
Thank you Ingrid
