Sometimes its fun to return to the same spot on different days to take essentially the same photo in different conditions. Last December I drove up to Joshua Tree National Park on four different mornings to take sunrise shots. On three of those occasions I shot from essentially the same spot.

Here are the three different photos showing quite different lighting on the different mornings.

For the last one, here is the look at the sky directly behind me that was lighting up the scene above.

On the final morning I shot from the Cholla Cactus Garden.

There is no arguing that the desert is beautiful in the morning and Joshua Tree National Park is a great place to experience it.
