Lovely image, spectral and insinuating.

Those are Red Cactus Pears and they are definitely edible, even delicious :-)

A mysterious glimpse into the private world of cactus. Nice effect.

A sun-drenched pause in the ups and downs of life. People are taking stock, chatting about destiny while inwardly weighing options. That patchwork sign is just befuddling. At least that's how I feel this image, filled with tacit drama, as attested to by the gathering shadows in the clouds. Setting the sign front and center is such a good choice, stopping the viewer for a moment before exploring the parking lot and then the receding mountains. Makes me wonder.

I can't find a way to like this tonal thing (is it HDR, sorry I don't know). But look at all the weird tones and vignettes that I use, so what would I know? Nothing at all. The picture is, despite that feeble objection, nevertheless quite interesting. The centrally-placed post with all the been-there-done-that stickers makes it look like a photo for a magazine article about road trips, or maybe about the Pass itself. Thank you.

Goodness, this is the place where the sheeps are separated from the goats so to speak. Where the waters go into different directions and people struggle to make sense of their invisible way. Great shot

I like the square within the square, and the campy color processing creates a connection between the sky blue and the sign blue.

That sign is completely fascinating!

this looks like it was processed similarly to your previous image, and suits it - the stickered post is great, but I feel like since it is presented center stage, as it were, the exposure could be better on it, brightened a bit more.

I can just make out "scenic overlook" on the sign under all those stickers. Feels like a metaphor for all the litter and waste on Earth.

Still on my 'lets look and learn' SC, Independance Pass is some 500 metres taller than Beinn Mhòr (Ben More) the tallest peak on my little Island so am thinking this is quite high and looks like a bikers road :) Loving all the stickers on the 'pilgrims post :)
