This is a nice example of the dramatic scenery somewhere in Southern New Mexico.

here is a short one showing the Joshua Tree cactus in the National Forest. - kind of hard to see them all clearly - but you get the idea.

not my pic - but here's what you're talking about...

My trip to the islands near Vancouver is going to be based on moon charts this year. Damn full moon ruined the opportunity last year. I've seen the Milky way once in my life so far, I must see it again!

Masa 03-04-2013 11:26 AM

I had the pleasure to see it a couple years back when I did a cross country trip when I was still in college.

Would do it again in a heartbeat when I have time.
