Road trip.
A day before my birthday.
Cruising along the High Dessert.
I had to stop and checkout the wind turbines along the way.
These massive structures totaling 2,700 of them
converts wind energy into electricity
for Palm Springs.
On my way to Joshua Tree National Park for a day tour.
I'll come back next time to check out the hiking trails
but today I'm chasing the sunset.
According to legends,
the limbs of the Joshua tree in this desert park
"resembles the upstretched arms of Joshua leading to the promised land"
This desert park has become a "promised land" for hike trails, bike rides and four-wheel drives in the backcountry roads, horse back riding, and rock climbing.
At the Keys View Scenic Lookout...awaiting sunset. A panoramic view of the Coachella Valley, Santa Rosa Mountains, San Jacinto Peak, San Andreas Fault and Mexico.
Last time I was here was 2009.
Looking back, lots of things happened since then.
Maybe I've become wiser, more content and at peace...
Sunset at Joshua Tree National Park...
Chasing sunset a day before my birthday...
why? I dunno, maybe I just love sunsets
or maybe it reminds me to look back
where I've been to and where I'm heading now...
or maybe I'm just a dreamer...chasing a dream
