"Weathered"

Like in my previous post, this photo was taken in Joshua Tree National Park in southern California. I love this photo for the weathered branch in the forground and the snowy mountains in the background, thus I like to call it "Weathered".

Despite Joshua Tree being in a desert, when I was taking this photo it was a mere 30 degrees f...thanks to the altitude and a very cold day. It is somewhat funny, the first time that I was ever in a "true" desert it snowed...enjoy!

Fun fact about mountains: In the U.S. in order for a land mass to qualify as a mountain, it must stand 1,000 feet tall or more. However if it is only 999 feet, sorry it is just a hill. (500 feet or below and its a knoll.)
