Such a treat! So many standing up for a better view of the Sun, or perhaps AZ royalty is due to walk down the path!

I remember this site, except for the slatted walkway; other images concentrated more on the birds perched on the big rock outcrop. But I didn't recognise the site as the same in the previous post lol - I now note the same outcrop Lovely composition and ambience.

Beautiful pre-sunset light has allowed the greens to shine. Nice use of the tree's form too for an instantly appealing composition. And there's a lens you haven't used in a while

I think I prefer this composition more, although I do like the sun's inclusion next door <<. Perhaps a little lightening of the darks? - the ground detail is nicely sharp and interesting enough to warrant a boost imho. Looking forward to leaning more of these plant giants.

OK you got me intrigued with this one ... obviously these guys die eventually but:
Why are others propped up? Are they endangered plants? - I never thought of that possibility? How long do they live? If they are endanered, are there programmes for regenerating new ones? If they're not endangered, what's the point of propping them up?

The photo leads me to think of the sun setting on a fallen giant, even though the exif tells me it's sunrise and I like that. That's one huge light spike extending at ten o'clock from the sun all the way to the left frame margin.

What a difference the light makes! Did you have time or inclination to explore any of the hollows?

Grand lighting that really brings out the dewsert colours. Even close-up, there are strong structural similarities with the central Oz monoliths, albeit at quite different scales.

Those caverns look super interesting; can't help wondering if they were of any significance to Indians.

Although a much smaller landscape feature, this scene reminded me straight away of Kata Tjuta in central Australia - the "rounded" outcrop forms surrounded by an expansive apron of low gradient desret land, the bare areas looking almost as if they've just been swept. Interesting colour layering with the outcrops and plants, and nice that you almost excluded the people

A very enjoyable binge it is too! No warnings needed - a ripper set. When I first started viewing this pair (7366/7365) I was drawn more to the latter by its symmetry, but flicking between the two, I find this 7365 growing on me, to the point where it's almost on a par overall with the other. The sunburst here seems a little "forced" for my taste, but then I note and like the edge lighting on part of the stamen stems that may be an unexpected bonus from the sunburst. All great shots!
