Thanks for the link.
I really enjoyed going through the gallery and even came up with some ideas about what makes so special the section of baja I like so much.
The picture of the baja night sky attracted me a lot also. One of baja's great pleasures is to look up from the light of the campfire and see that
Milky Way stretching from horizon to horizon. Haven't found a way of getting that on 'film' yet. Need to learn how.

Night Sky
Here is a cardon with night sky.........but not the beautiful baja night sky you are talking about. I never get tired of that orange on the horizon
that transforms to light blue to dark blue to black the higher you look in the sky.

"Full Moon over Cardon" - I like the sound of that.
Maybe there's a time of the year where you can really get creative with that idea. Use the Half Dome shots as a guide.

Skipjack--thanks for the encouragement--I need to transition back to being self-employed to be able to make the time for more painting--too hard
working 8-5 to carve out a time niche...it'll be easier when we're back on the west coast again...
That night sky in Baja has always been elusive for my feeble photography skills but painting it seemed to work out.
Thanks for the link Taco!

Certainly not the biggest Cardons we have seen, but on the Road to San Borja, there is the thickest cardon forest we have seen.
But this one that I took quickly out the side window still baffles us---how and why is that thing on top of this one.
A crop of the above picture --- just wonder when that thing was put there.
I really like all the pictures on this thread, but I think my favorite is the fixtrauma's night sky. I love the contrast of that giant cardon against
the very dark sky.
And, Mexiton, your paintings are stunning, just beautiful.

Here are a couple I found. There are some really nice cordon "forest" near by a lot of people here don't see any more since the new road by passes
them.

Some are real colorful up close. Not sure if this is an indication of poor health.
