On a clear morning in California's Joshua Tree National Park the rocks are a great contrast of complimentary colors. Adding the moon to the scene further punctuates the variations.

They are both found in abundance in California's Joshua Tree National Park. When rocks and cactus are combined, you can get some interesting compositions. In this photo there's a prickly pear cactus and a "boxcar" rock.
