The Old West

To capture this image, I went on the hunt for the perfect agave. We had camped the previous night at the Chisos Basin campground and I had spotted some potential targets in the morning before we left for a hike. When we returned to our campsite, I grabbed my camera and began searching. My search ended with this agave plant, perfectly lined up with Casa Grande behind it.
