Monochrome III
"Photography, as a powerful medium of expression and communications,
offers an infinite variety of perception, interpretation and execution."
Shot in the Imperial Sand Dunes that are situated south and east of the Salton Sea, this little tuft of grass created arcs in the sand by way of shifting breezes. It rained on the dunes two days before I visited, creating the rough-looking dimpled texture on the dune's surfaces. Normally when dry, they have a smoother, silkier appearance.
Also shot at Joshua Tree, the backdrop of eroded rock behind the yucca creates an interesting composition and adds a bit of depth.
This place really rocks! Joshua Tree National Park is home to vast quantities of weathered rock formations. What caught my eye here was the number of layers of boulders in the above photo; no less than nine separate planes in my count. Although not a particularly engaging and moving photo, it does illustrate the compositional effect of layering, or stacking of objects.

While crawling around in and amongst some pretty gnarly boulder fields and outcroppings in Joshua Tree, I came across this marching army of boulders advancing relentlessly across the viewfinder of my camera.
The next series of photos after these will end Monochrome. After that, we venture on into Panos, short for Panoramas.

Shot from the Yosemite Valley floor, I like the moodiness of the mountaintop in the background by how it is shrouded somewhat by the approaching winter storm that was descending upon the valley that day.
