Joshua Tree is full of these big rock piles. Our campsite was around one of them which provided shade and climbing opportunities. Click here for the panorama.
Joshua Tree National Park was more or less deserted when we got there. No need for a reservation and most of a campground to ourselves. The site was next to one of the big rockpiles that are scattered all over the park. I climbed up and took a bunch of photos hoping to make a panorama.
Well, stitching them together with photoshop turned out to be problematic because I didn't do a real good job of making them on the same plain. However, I was able to make a quickie movie out of it. It captures a little of the atmosphere. Click here to peep it.
You can click on the photo too. It'll do the same thing.
