Here is a photo of Saguaro ribs that are standing after the Saguaro cactus has died and the fleshy outer layers have deteriorated leaving behind the saguaro ribs standing like an Egyptian Sentinel to be a tombstone to mark the life and death of a saguaro.
In hiking on trails in the Saguaro National Park in Tucson, you see many interesting sights of nature.
This week, the photos on our Viva la Voyage travel photo site features the Volcano on the Big Island of Hawaii.

Enchanting.
It's almost as if I'm feeling their souls.
Very beautiful in life and death.
I would have never guessed what that is.
Such a dramatic composition!
Great title for this photo.
A naked wood so full of interpretations.
I can see where they get their name. Interesting!
Really wonderful. I had never seen one of these. Thanks.
I would not have known what this was either! It's lovely Julie.
You have a gift to see special details with unarmed eye and show them to us.
Sentinels of their former selves.
Very nicely said, Carolyn. They are somehow still majestic. Great photo.
And so the cycle of nature continues.
I've enjoyed all your postings on the saguaro. Remember I found one in the Exotic Gardens of Monaco?
This is extraordinary tho. I didn't know this happened. Lovely shot.
Fascinating! I've never seen a dried up saguaro before. Your gorgeous photo makes it look like a piece of sculpture!
Thanks for visiting my blog - I'm really glad to find yours:)
Lovely photos here!
greetings
