La sagesse est ce que le solitaire se chuchote à lui-même sur la place publique.
Humain, trop humain - Friedrich Nietzsche
A soggy afternoon in the Smoke Creek Desert begins to dry out as the clouds part, allowing the sun to poke in and out throughout the afternoon. Good fortune brought a westbound North Platte, Nebraska to Fresno, California manifest, seen climbing the 1% grade that will soon be achieved at Sand Pass. The trailing Ferromex SD70 wears the road's newly adopted paint scheme and it is certainly an eye catcher in bright sunshine.
This same wet weather left hundreds stuck in the mud for several days at the nearby Burning Man Festival.

Singing Sand Mountains & Crescent Moon Lake, Dunhuang, China.
Singing Sand Mountains
Located on the Silk Road, the Echoing-Sand Mountain is known as one of the Eight Great Landscapes of Dunhuang and one of the Four Great Singing Sands of China. Completely piled by sands, the mountain stretches for 40 km in length and 20 km in width respectively, with the highest point reaching 250 meters. When there is wild wind, the sands will be blown up and make loud sound, while the sound sounds like being produced by some ancient musical instrument when blew by breeze, hence the name.
Crescent Moon Lake
Just like its name indicates, the Crescent Lake is in a natural shape of half-moon and had been commonly considered as one of the Eight Great Landscapes of Dunhuang together with the Echoing-Sand Mountain early in Western Han Dynasty (206BC-24AD).
