Joshua Tree National Park, CA 1.1.11














We left home at 8am on New Year's day, stopped by midway at Alhambra for breakfast... We were at the south entrance of Joshua Tree National Park at little bit pass noon. Again, it's another partially overcast day and it created nice infrared source for these images. I was a little disappointed this time because for some reasons, there were not a lot of good size Joshua trees throughout the park. A lot of Joshua trees started to show up towards the north entrance of the park and there were lots of them at Twenty-nine Palms area. The lighting was not as good as early afternoon so I didn't capture any images after we exited the park.

IR converted 20D with 18-55 IS (at 18mm).

Mount San Jacinto State Park, Palm Springs, CA 1.2.11





Ten minutes of cable car ride with breathtaking views brought us to this winter wonderland. -1ºC with windchill felt more like -15ºC up there at 8,516 ft elevation.
