Description
In the Sonoran Desert in southern Arizona and northern Mexico, the saguaro stand like sentinels keeping watch over the arid, rocky terrain. I took this photo from one of the scenic overlooks on the road through Gates Pass west of Tucson. The saguaro cactus (Carnegiea gigantean) is long-lived and extremely tall; in this area they can live to 150 years old and grow to over 140 feet tall. The crop ratio of this image is 2:1; I have a second version cropped to a more conventional 2:3 ratio in my The Southwest - Arizona gallery.
