Agave Night Visions
The ancient agave stands witness to its surroundings in a separate time.
Days and years pass, but nightly wonder presents itself.
Sending its death shoot skyward, the fronds of the agave die back from their tip,
recording as they do so some of the best views from a long life.
These images of agave cacti fronds were acquired at El Charco, a botanical garden in San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, Mexico.

entry description
Moonlit desert gardens, cold nights, lonely peaks reaching to starry skies.The ancient agave stands witness to its surroundings in a separate time.
Days and years pass, but nightly wonder presents itself.
Sending its death shoot skyward, the fronds of the agave die back from their tip,
recording as they do so some of the best views from a long life.
These images of agave cacti fronds were acquired at El Charco, a botanical garden in San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, Mexico.
about the photographer
Richard Alan Cohen lives and works in the South End of Boston where he still pursues his college double major in art and science. He graduated from Bowdoin College and Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. His lifetime interest in art derives from his mother, an art teacher and painter, and his father, a house designer and builder. His cityscape photography exposes the manipulation of urban inhabitants by contemporary design and style. Natural features that organize otherwise chaotic surroundings are emphasized in his landscapes.back to gallery
