desert

Went for an early morning hike and lamented how brown the desert looked. Almost everything that I came across, including the cacti, was in the process of dying. It's just been too hot here lately.

The way the picture processed reminded me of the landscapes of Maxfield Parrish: https://www.atlasofplaces.com/painting/make-believe-landscapes/

I can feel the heat, like I went for a hike and forgot to bring enough water! Ooh thanks for the link about mayfield Parrish's landscapes I think they're not stunning than his works with people and landscapes
