Description

Photograph of cacti in desert terrain, [s.d.]. One cactus stands tall on the left in three distinct sections. One thick limb of the plant with grooves running up the prickly surface supports the other two identical limbs above. Similar cacti stand in a group below a tall, bare tree on the left with low, dry bushes littered across the dusty terrain behind them. A single-limbed cactus stands in the empty dirt in the background on the right with more dry bushes spotting the land behind it.
