Prickly Places - landscapephotography contest.

in #landscapephotography7 years ago (edited)

Nikon 7100 55-300mm lens.....and 126 Fahrenheit.

Passing through Tucson, Arizona during the summer heat wave of 2017 I stepped out to shoot a few images in this otherworld of cactus, cactus, and other prickly dry plants.

Yeah, its a "dry heat", but 126 degrees hot is still damn hot.   My son commented that his eyeballs were burning.

Great scenery though!

National Natural Monument "Saguaro" - "cactus forest" - is it there? I've heard a lot about Arizona, but unfortunately I have not been there. After visiting America the next time I will try to visit there :)

Yes it is there and well worth the visit if you ever get the chance.
Amazing scenery. I'd probably not go during a heat wave if you can help it though. 😎

Ah man! I thought that was a recent picture I was like “that hot in winter!?” “Must live in Australia!” 😂

Not sure what the Temp is this time of year there, but I know they have plenty of plants with about any kind of thorn you want to get stuck with.

hahaha😂 nice dream😜😜😜

resteemed your post @ohicklin
I offer free resteem for all.

Wow, I love this shot!! Yay AZ, the land of my peeps is there. I love the looks of cactus, not so much the prickles. LOL
xx

I loved it. I didn't know there were so many different cacti and thorny bushes. Beautiful scenery for sure.
I have some photos of different thorny plants from out there that I will have to post.

and thanks for your support by the way.

Anytime! Sorry I haven’t come
By to visit sooner. Apologies. xx

It is beautiful out there. Try not to go when it is 126 F if you get the chance. 😎

Hopefully Thanks
