Arriving for the first time in Joshua Tree I could feel the magic of the land. I arrived at night when it was already dark, and I ended up camping at Indian Cove Campground which turned out to be such a perfect spot.
This was my view when I woke up:
Pretty surreal landscape!
With my photo editing, I often like to accentuate the surreal & mystical feel.
A picture below was taken at the other part of the Joshua Tree National Park.
I am always looking out for interesting textures that are an inspiration for my art.
Both of the photographs below were taken from a campground at the Red Rock Canyon State Park, not too far away from Joshua Tree. Another very cool place to stay at, with interesting rock formations. It was great to see it, although honestly, I don't think that in the future I will be coming out of my way to go there back. I didn't like about this place that some areas were a bit messy with trash and broken glass.
Excellent photos! I'm actually moving near Twentynine Palms next month; right next to Joshua Tree National Park. I've never been out their except near around the coast. Too bad I haven't moved there yet, or I'd say let's meet up for a beer.

29 Palms is an interesting place. There are many tiny homesteading buildings from when they were still giving away land. https://www.kcet.org/shows/artbound/jackrabbit-homestead-artists-off-roaders-and-the-american-dream-writ-miniature

I really like how you capture those textures and depth in these two wonderful locations. Don't give up on Red Rock Canyon. It's a huge state park with some much cleaner and lonelier areas. I went there last year and visited Burro Schmidt tunnel and we 4x4 drove all over tiny tracks in the higher lands. I want to go back and try to see some fossils and human artifacts, as well as visit the Old Dutch Cleanser mine.
Cheers!
