Description

A 3 panel panorama each 30 sec long taken last year in a cold gusty desert morning in March 2022.  I used a Rokinon 14 mm lens here. I was standing among a giant garden of "teddy bear cholla cacti" in Joshua Tree National Park in California.  Don't let the cute name fool you as you don't want to get too close to this teddy bear. Sir David Attenborough well described it as the most dangerous plant in the desert for a reason. The spikes are very sharp and they have barbs that are pointing backwards. If they get stock anywhere in your body, good luck pulling them out!  For making the panorama, I used the free software "Hugin" .  As long as there is some overlapping foreground in your frames, it does a reasonable job stitching them together.
