Daily Photo – Mesquite Flat

The perspective is deceptive and the effort it took to climb this in Mesquite Flat, Desert Valley, is not represented in this serene shot. A view to the north with the already below the to my left, I wondered how this tree branch came to be here and how long it had resided on top of this . I can't believe it was placed here by nature so I've come to think that someone else, someone more fit than I, hauled it up here.
