    Again, thanks to all viewers/commentators. This is probably one of the most unique shots that I have taken. The giant dead agave bloom was leaning over, nearly horizontally. So, I was able to duck underneath and record it against a clear blue (polarised) sky background. In other words, this is presented as I found it. Minimal Photoshop was used to finish this one off.

    Not only alien trees, but, apparently, alien zombie trees reaching their branches out before them, shambling along, looking for some alien damsel to distress.
