This is a second composition of the Desert View Watchtower. While the first composition on this blog presented a close up, looking up, view of the tower, this image is an in situ view of the tower and its surroundings.

In this image you can see how the materials used to construct the Desert View Watchtower blend in so well with its surroundings. Notice the triangle around the top of the tower are the same color as parts of the dead tree in the foreground. This image was captured 15 minutes after the previous image and from a different angle. The clouds framing the tower, puffy in the previous image, are now solid with areas of blue. The additional clouds change the light and mood of the image.

Desert View Watchtower: 36.043408° -111.825842°
