I like the curving shapes and how the small cactus forms echo the rounded cliffs.

Thanks. Itβs a fractal thingβand the cliffs are formed from the buildup of cacti over Millenia.

Looks like something from the Dream time myths.

Thanks. Actually its from a future dreamtime when humans have been replaced by other problems. Cacti have inherited the earth! It's very peaceful, but nothing much happens except the collapse of a cliff or two every millennia or so.Β

I can see that...all that's left of humans is the rock paintings..., until the bloody cliff collapses..Β so tell me...do you think the ants even noticed?

Oh, they noticed us, but they have *very* short memories. So it's like we never existed.

That makes perfect sense.

Hmm, not so undesirable... I really like it! I mean, it probably offers no sustenance or life support whatsoever, but it has its own kind of somber beauty.Β

Thanks, since it is all made out of cactuses, it would be helpful if they were at least edible. Alas, no.Β Β

There are some cacti that are edible, right? I have no idea if they provide any nutritional value, though... like munching on some tree bark, haha.Β

Hmmm... Maybe we could distill them and make a very large amount of Tequila!
