In "Joshua Tree Sunset," Glen Wilbert photographs a single tall Joshua tree standing in the high desert at dusk, its branching arms rising against a sky that shades from pale blue down to soft pink along the horizon.
The image holds a gentle pastel gradient, the cool blue at the top of the frame melting into rose and peach near the ground, with the dark form of the Joshua tree centered against it. Glen framed the tree from below so its silhouette reaches into the colored sky, with a smaller yucca, scattered desert scrub, and rounded boulders filling the foreground. The fading light keeps the colors muted and even, and the distant mountains sit as a thin blue line on the horizon.
Joshua Tree National Park, where the Mojave and Colorado deserts meet in Southern California, is named for these distinctive trees. It is a landmark stop on the desert road trip and a recurring subject in Glen's work.
