desert church, a photo from California, West

Photographer's Note

This interesting church is located on the way to Joshua Tree National Park in California. What's curious, it's in the middle of the desert. I liked its nice white silhuette which stood out of the surrounding area.

This is really looks beautiful and one will always want to sit near it.
I like this shot, because the church building design is very good. The rail impressions over desert is amazing. The trees seems to be of rare type and generally not seen here in India.
Thanks for sharing.

I like the southen style of the church. And arid landscapes are beautiful. I like the composition, except that the bush is a little too dominant. A couple of steps back and setting the church more to the left might be better.

This is an interesting church, that looks a bit lost in thhis desert. The choice of the foreground reinforces this impression. Nice contrast of colours.
Well done,
Yannick

I like it very much. Original, unexpected image of the United States. The small dome reminds me of one of the Greek houses in Oia, Santorini. Nice color contrast between the snow white walls of the church and the deep blue of the sky. Nice touch of the palm trees in the middle of the arid desert, although the bush is a bit distracting. Overall, good composition

hm i guess the first plant is disturbing a bit...not sure...it´s part of the environment, but maybe the church would be better if taken without the dry plant. But, beside of that the picture has an interesting atmosphere and i have to agree that plant and the stones give an desert atmosphere. Also liked the colors a lot.

what a beautiful church.very cosy and homely. very nice setting in the morning light. i find the bush a little distracting though, maybe if you took it from another angle or blurred the bush to give it less importance might have made the church stand out more.cheers!
