From this collection, I felt that this image was the most significant of all the cacti Mark Klett took photographs of. The cactus looks to have a happy face and a small top hat which I find hilarious. The message Klett was aiming for with this image was a humorous one, with the face in the cacti and the arms of the cacti seem to be shimmying. On the other hand Klett could have possibly been aiming for another message along the lines of how the west was slowly being desecrated by pollution, and the cacti can be seen rotting or being eaten by insects. Either way the aesthic of the photo graph has a rustic, dusty feel. The viewer can almost place themselves in the desert, with the dry heat and the sweeping of dust in the air.
