Very cool image.

Such wonderfully imposing saguaro statues in a perfect desert setting with that blue and cloudy sky. Too bad about the temps though...

Agree that the weather was not as perfect as it could have been during your visit, but I think we did well working with what we had. Nice sky in this shot.

The Saguaros make it look warmer than it is. It's been chilly all over the SW.

Excellent shot of the Arizona landscape with iconic cactus and colorful backdrop. The weather is like the politics these days, unpredictable. V

Like signs in the landscape... A world to discover...V.
Hope you enjoyed your trip in spite the chilly wind....

Beautiful capture of this landscape. The light is fine and the sky looks inviting but yes, in late winter/early spring there are often differences between appearance and reality... V

I recall it's still a bit chilly in AZ at this time of the year. You had a sunny day for your picture.

PS Looking forward to more.

Such interesting shapes in these cacti, nicely captured. Weather looks beautiful, but I know how cold it can get in the desert.
Dan Greenberg19-Feb-2019 01:34
It does look like fine weather, but looks are often deceiving. A good comparison between a healthy and not so healthy saguaro it looks like. ~V~
Dennis Hoyne19-Feb-2019 00:58
This year has been a little different weatherwise!

Those saguaro are the most imposing and striking of all the types of cactus. What a great shot this is. V
Jim Coffman19-Feb-2019 00:21

It gets cold in the desert! But look at that great sky! V

The weather does look sunny and warm here. Those are some rather large looking cactus plants. Hope you had enough warm clothes with you. Maybe a flask with some good whiskey in it would have been appreciated. Pretty photo!
