Equinox
Saguaro NP
On the last official evening of Summer, first night of Autumn, the sun drops below the horizon due West with the supreme symbol of the American Southwest standing at attention to bid a fond farewell. This extraordinary giant cactus, renowned for the variety of odd, all-too-human shapes it assumes, inspiring wild and fanciful imaginings, thrives in one of the hottest and driest regions of the continent.
