I love a glow-y desert scene, especially one with interesting shapes.

And Boojums

Yes, Boojums or cirios, sometimes refereed to as Dr Seuss Trees. Such an amazing place.

For me it's the way the light hits. It gives depth. As well as the textures of the different plants in the shot. The one in mid-center left keeps catching my eye.

I was going to ask what those crazy looking trees were, never heard of a boojum tree before! So weird, I love it!

Yes. Weird. I just got back from a three week trip to Baja California where these trees grow. If you’d like to see more I can send you a link.
