I think the second one is the same formation I visited last year and tried to capture twice at sunset, with mixed results. I also had a problem with uncooperative clouds but did get a brief sunset show one night. I tried to find out if it had a name (and lacking that, gave it my own name). Thanks for providing that. Is it an informal climber's name or officially sanctioned?
I like the angle you found, I didn't see that one. Using the Joshua Tree as a foil certainly puts it in context, and you made the best of the warm sunrise light.
I know this is a bit of a walk in the dark (though not technical difficult), so congratulations. I hope to get back and try it again myself some day.

Hi Dave,
This is the same structure as your image. I like your results better than mine.
The name is known enough that I think it is official. A website called "Joshua Tree 3D" actually names these formations better than any other site I found. I believe rock climbers give these names and I've seen some posts of people who climb to the top of this structure.
I sure did walk out in the dark. GPS comes in handy when going blindly into the desert.
