Joshua Tree National Park is one of the most stunning and intriguing places I've been. This spot is called Balanced Rock. The vertical odd-shaped rock is quite an anomaly. The interestingly bent juniper tree extending through the crack in the desert stone. With the golden light and sunrise colored clouds, it made for a striking moment. Thanks for your time and please leave a comment with your thoughts. Mahalos
