Joshua Tree National Park (part 1) - HDR

This past summer my good friend Rita came to visit me from Sweden (but she's portugeuse!). One of the places we traveled to was Joshua Tree National Park. It's located along the 10 freeway not far from the Arizona border. It's about a 2 hour drive from our home base in Corona, making it a perfect day trip. Going to Joshua Tree is like going to another planet. What always strikes me is the absolute silence of the place. You can't hear a single thing. I really enjoyed this day with Rita! All images were shot in RAW format and converted to HDR using PhotoMatix. Final processing was done in Photoshop CS2.
