Oaxaca Hills
During the bus ride return from Oaxaca I snapped this photos through the bus window with my phone and now that I have received my new laptop I have been able to download them.
The bus passed miles upon miles of hills covered only in forests of these cacti, which I think is Organo Cephalocereus columna-trajani, and a variety of ground hugging shrubs. I have since read that this variety of columnar cactus grows to 33 feet in height and 16″ in diameter.
So as to provide a contrast below is a photo of the richly vegetated hills of Veracruz stare not too far across the Qaxaca state border.
Sorry about the lousy photo quality.
