The American Southwest is one of the most beautiful landscapes in the world. Standing on a small mountain on a desert landscape, one can see miles and miles of nothingness with some occasional plants for refuge. This desert does have beauty though- every plant has its place and works together to create this peaceful environment. Mark Paulda captures moments fr om this breathtaking view so that we, who are lucky enough not to be there, can feel as if we're looking at where God's handiwork resides. In his high detail photograph you can see scrub bushes dotting the foreground as an indicator of life amongst these barren surroundings wh ere all other living things have been scorched away by those unforgiving elements.
