Saguaro Cactus (Carnegiea Gigantea) at Sunset

Absolutely stunning...looks like a giant hand wwith one long finger pointing up to the sky!Well done

That's a wonderful sight Skippy.

fantastic sunset

Thanks, BB, Hywel and Irish. It was too good to pass up.

Excellent photography.
Well done on this one Skippy. :o)

Ooh.....I thought it was ET for a mo!..........ET phone home :o)

Thanks, TT and Janey....

Brilliant Janey!

What would have really sealed the deal, Janey, is if that setting sun had been positioned on the tip of the main trunk of the Saguaro.....lol

Fab shot! wow!

BB I get that when I drive around town but not nearly as colourful lol!

LOL...sorry,took a while for the penny to drop.I get the language which is very colourful!

With the recession we have to be careful with our pennies BB. Probably why no one put their 2 cents in lickity split! Yes the words come out but I have the tunes so loud and the glass in the window so all I see is lips opening and closing.

Not to take away from this incredible snap Skippy. Very stunning, reminds me of the westerns with Eastwood, Wayne, Murphy, etc......

Thanks, PF.

Great photo Skippy...

Thanks, Janette.

beautiful colours Skippy.

Thanks, Gilli.

Saw a pic of escaped lovebirds nesting in a hole in a Saguaro...do you see any escaped domestic birds flying about? The colour of the sunset is wonderful...and what a silhouette! I'd love to see the desert, lucky you again, Skippy!

Awesome silhouette in the evening sky, Skippy ! Are these the type of cactus that have a water reservoir, that you could drink from if stranded in the desert ?

Absolutly stunning.

Fantastic shot Skippy!

Great photo! colours are also great.

Thanks, Ff, Pansyp and Scottie....I am sorry I did not acknowledge some of the other comments on this photo. I was fighting a bronchitis attack at the time....wasn't all there physically or mentally...

This is totally out of this world..would put it on my wall! Must tell Bjs, bet he would want to paint it!!
