"Desert rose
Dreamed I saw a desert rose
Dress torn in ribbons and in bows
Like a siren she calls to me."

Rest in Peace, dear tree.

Very cool! I crossed that desert in '99 on the way to Las Vegas (from L.A.) to visit friends. I'd noticed these trees on the side of the road and wondered if that was the area where the U2 album cover was shot.

Isn't it dead now? I heard that there is nothing on this site now but a pile of wood...

It is dead, I believe it fell sometime in 2000. I was there in 2004.
