Hot Landscape

Since I have a serious lack of current material due to a lack of a good camera I'm posting some older photos such as this from the Galapagos Islands. This specific species of cactus was the most common and stood surprisingly tall! What I love most about the Galapagos is that you have the chance to see all of these species of animal and plant all listed from Vulnerable to Critically endangered.

Don't even worry about a photo's age on JungleDragon, Tristan. It is irrelevant. The value is in the location, species or scene. I am very glad you shared this as it is of great value to the site. It's a great landscape, a spectacular location, and a species intro. It simply doesn't get better. Added:
