A place is beguiling when it keeps popping up a person's mind at the oddest times and places. Thus, El Malpais, otra vez. Today's blog features more sandstone knobs, hoodoos, and arches in the making. It is amazing how trees manage to plant themselves in such harsh but also opportune places.
In case you plan a trip here in the near future, the visitors' center is a wonderful source of information, as are the websites of both the National Park Service and the Bureau of Land Management.
until next Monday,

a passion for the image
I can see that I must visit El Malpais. These are strong compositions. I especially like image number one with the tree in the distance against the white clouds. That one makes my eye go all around it before settling on the hardy Juniper beneath the boulder.
