Photo Essay: Desert, Sun, Life and Maybe Rain →

. RSS

The central image and light of the sun in this image evoke symmetry and centrality and serve to embrace the beauty of the desert cacti in bloom and bring life to what may be expected to be lifeless brown earth. The green of the trees and the grass seems more accurate because of both the flowering cacti and the sun.

The beauty of the flowers is guarded and protected by the thorns surrounding them. Even the clouds have placed themselves in this photo to bring more focus to the light through the trees and become central to the essay.

Long roads with mountains in the distance. Darkness coming bringing rain. Is the desert always the same?

The land changes from green to brown but is it ever really the same?
