This is a scraggly tree/bush of some kind out in the desert. I took it at sunrise a couple of years ago after a dex-fueled night of pre-telescope astrophotography. At that time all I could do was photograph the Milky Way, since there isn't much else you can do with just an ordinary camera on a tripod.
maybe mequite? they can get kinda weedy like that
dead mesquite
That's a monster that disguises itself as a tree that was just waiting for the sun to go all the way down so no one would see it make a meal of unwary photographers.
....CID, LOL....it is just an impressive presentation of color shading from here to lovely. Best Wishes, Traveller
