A solitary Joshua tree stands in a golden-brown desert expanse, its spiky limbs reaching upward against a rocky, sunlit slope dotted with more distant trees. The scene is quiet, sun-drenched, and steeped in high desert mood.

Spotted this impressive #JoshuaTree by the road while driving from #DVNP to the Alabama Hills.
