Looks like a type of agave or "century plant" as they're called out here. I love the pattern of the torns that's pressed into the face of each fat stalk. As each new stalk peals away from the core, it emerges with this pattern.

You definitely wouldn't want to fall on one of these. They're as hard as nails! :-)

It is the 2nd largest moon in the Solar System, after Jupiter's moon Ganymede, and it is larger by volume than the smallest planet, Mercury, although only half as massive. Titan was the first known moon of Saturn, discovered in 1655 by the Dutch astronomer Christiaan Huygens. Titan is primarily composed of water ice and rocky material.

Canon 5DmkII, 16-35mm at 16mm, iso100, 1/6 sec at f/9.5, +CPL I feel like I'm in a creative rut maybe it's the rain, pretty much straight for 3 weeks. I want to think that's the reason but it's probably not. It is to easy to go back to the same place with the same equipment and shoot the same shot with a different sky. I don't want a break I want an idea. So I'll go searching... I know this is a universal phenomena, any comments would be appreciated.
