U2 - The Joshua Tree - 1987

With the agreement about the tree, Corbijn was looking for a single tree as he thought it would result in better photographs than if he shot the band amongst a group of trees.

Finally found, they stopped the bus and photographed with the lone plant for about 20 minutes, something the Edge called 'fairly spontaneous'.

On the right the final result for the back cover.
