Joshua Tree National Park, California: Part 3

joshua tree travel photographyI continued my road trip through Joshua Tree National Park this summer in California. It wasn't that I really needed more pictures, it just seemed like a great backdrop to break in the Jaguar I'd rented for the road trip. I always see something new when I'm back in Joshua Tree. Perhaps it's that the desert landscape is still a novelty for this Canadian. In any case, it was a blast as usual. It made for some great additions to my Roadside California series.

Mid-Century Modern in Palm Springs

A love the architecture of Palm Springs, California. Many of the mid-century modern structures have been preserved and revitalized here, giving this desert community a distinct look that showcases the optimism and imagination of the 1950's and 1960's.

Coyote's Flying Saucer Retrievals & Repairs

coyotes flying saucer retrievals repairs californiaOne of the many reasons I love the California desert is that I come across something new on every road trip. Coyote's Flying Saucer Retrievals and Repairs was an odd and entertaining roadside attraction I photographed on my way to Desert View Tower. Only a few miles from the Mexican border, this stop had aliens, saucers, and a few different scenarios on display. I've come to expect nothing less when exploring the California desert. More here.
