To find something in its natural habitat like that it seems so alien coming from Australia. That is very cool, the Landscape is so stark. Got any more pics you would like to share?

I have some trichos pictured near Tupiza (Bol) and Humahuaca (Argentina) will have to look for the pics. My interest for cacti started after those trips.Today I would picture every single cactus by the road...

In August/September im going to North Peru (bike trip) and hopefully I wii take many pictures of cacti...

I travelled around South America years back (before i got the cacti collectors bug) and at that time i remember so many bus rides around the elevated parts of Ecuador / Peru / Bolivia and seeing SO MANY cacti clumps... mostly pach green and columnar and i remember thinking at the time that most of these would be of great cosmic interest in some way or another.

Kinda glad that i wasn't a cacti nut then because i wouldn't have gotten any sleep on any bus rides and would've been asking for "toilet stops" every 50 metres. heh.
