Cactus for world peace - a photo on Flickriver

            A bifurcated Saguaro (Carnegiea gigantea) glows in the morning light.  Saguaro cacti are renowned for their longevity, living up to and possibly exceeding 200 years, and their size, achieving heights of 40 to 60 feet (12-18 m).  They are native to the Sonoran Desert of Arizona and the Mexican state of Sonora.  Their northern geographic range correlates with the probability of having more than two straight days  of sub-freezing temperatures.  Saguaros are one of the classic symbols of the American west, such that movie directors will use plastic models on locations outside of their normal geographic range.  A pink Saguaro-like alien was used in an episode of Star Trek during the Capt Kirk era.

A Happy New Year to everyone in Flickr-land; hope you have great light and photographic opportunities in 2015
