Organ Pipe Arms

[color_organpipe1.jpg]

This photo shows just how important "Point Of View" is in photography! The arms of this organ pipe cactus are actually arrayed somewhat randomly in three dimensions; to make the arms appear as regularly spaced as the pipes of a real organ in this two-dimensional photo, I had to stand in just the right spot.
