Bare Cholla

I was tempted to include this image in my Bare Tree series but a cholla is not a tree, however much it might resemble one in a way, so I chose to remain botanically correct.

I wonder if the dead cholla “whistles” when the wind blows through all those holes….
I don’t remember noticing during my sojourn in the NV desert.
In spite of all those holes, I’ve never heard one whistling. But if one did, I imagine it would sound a lot like a poorly tuned flute.
