It's hard to imagine just how hot the desert had to be to turn a forest into glass. But it happened. Sleep with one eye open when you're in Arizona. You never know what may happen or when it will all go up in flames.
The above photo is a prime example of why I don't like to photograph at high noon. The light is icky and harsh. There are no pretty elongated shadows to play with. And the desert was hot as hell. I guess I am starting to imagine how these trees felt when their apocalypse was upon them. If this happens again I wonder what will become glass a bra-jillion years from now? What will they learn about us from it? Will our trash get crystalized? Will we have a petrified iphone forest? Yikes.
Below is the inside of a tree. How?On?Earth?Did?This?Happen?
Tiff runs into another grassland dimension. (Into the illegal part of the park! Uh oh! We do what we want!)
And closing with my favorite photo from this mini adventure...it's a fave mostly because of the color of the sky against the burnt color of the petrified bark.
