Check out these artistic shaped rocks found in Johnson Valley and Joshua Tree National Park, California. Here is what looks like an Old Man's Skull resting at daybreak at one of the foothills of these rock pile mountains in Johnson Valley. He's even got the rounded wide lips below.

Johnson Valley is a great place to ride your off-road vehicles and be able to see the beauty of these sculpture-like forms at the same time. You can click the horizontal landscape pictures here for wallpaper size. These rocks have incredible texture to them.

Some of these rocks, the natural wind has hollowed out. Others break in an artistic manner when they fall; and still others may have had a human touch to them. This one below that has a hollowed out look, has a large nose and a fluffy goatee type beard, or some kind of grass he's chewing on in the rock quarry area, where it is said counter tops were made from an excavation there once.

Talk about still life and head portraits, these skulls would be the coolest subject other than boring fruit in a basket to portray in a piece of artwork.

Just North of Palm Springs, Joshua Tree National Park also has these amazing figure-shaped rocks. This one here has an incredible mouth, and frog-shaped look. It is a wonder how the wind blows holes even through hard rock.

Joshua Tree also has a Skull Rock (on the left below) that can be found either from the road side, or a small hike from a camp site nearby. Both Joshua Tree and Johnson Valley have camping. Joshua Tree's campsite spaces will fill up though. On the right is a face that just looks clobbered. Poor guy. It's on the way to Barker Dam within the park.
