I posted this last year, same message, different title. Seems even more relevant now.

42% of Utah land is managed by The Bureau of Land Management (BLM). As national and state parks are hitting peak attendance, BLM land is often overlooked, but for landscape photography, there are endless opportunities.
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one
The Bergbahnen Lauterbach Muerren is only about 4 kilometers long but offers may nice angles. Here a TW 23 winds along the mountain side on its way towards intermediate halt in Winteregg.
Took this on the newly completed BLM Plaza in Washington, DC. With the new pedestrian pathway in the center, I was able to get side by side light trails. Used some new presets in Lightroom to bring out the highlights from the light trails and light posts.
Usually SL is my escape from the world, but I think it's important to show my support in whatever small way I can. Black Lives Matter and I stand with everyone who is fighting for their rights. I hope for a better world someday. ❤️

View of sunset from the Bureau of Land Management's Saddle Mountain Area. In US, you're allowed to camp anywhere in BLM land, and that's what we were doing here. This 35mm film image is with the new Reto Ultra Wide and Slim, with Fujifim Velvia 100 slide film.
Valley of the Gods is a scenic backcountry area is southeastern Utah, near Mexican Hat. It is a hidden gem with scenery similar to that of nearby Monument Valley. Valley of the Gods offers isolated buttes, towering pinnacles and wide open spaces that seem to go on forever.
Monument Valley is located on Navajo Nation land and visitors exploring the area usually travel with a Navajo guide. A permit from the tribe is needed before you can hike into the backcountry. Valley of the Gods offers similar scenery without the tribal restrictions; it is located on BLM land and is open for hiking, backpacking and camping.
There are no designated trails or campgrounds, but there is plenty of backcountry where you can wander and explore.
A 17-mile dirt and gravel road winds through the valley. It is sandy and bumpy, with steep sections. It provides a fun drive through an area that is usually deserted. It is a great place to get away from civilization - to get away from everything associated with modern life.
Bike enthusiasts enjoy riding the road through the valley.
Because of its isolated nature, people exploring Valley of the Gods need to be self-sufficient and carry emergency supplies. There are no facilities, no gas stations, stores or services. You may or may not see other travelers along the road.
The Valley of the Gods Road runs between Highways 163 and 261. The road forks away from Hwy 163 about 7.5 miles north of Mexican Hat. It winds north and west and then connects with Hwy 261 about 6.5 miles northwest of the point where Hwy 261 forks from Hwy 161.
The road is recommended for high clearance vehicles. During dry weather, many people drive the road in family cars - but be advised that it can be rough. When the weather is wet a 4X4 may be needed to get through. (Utah.com)

A partial history of a congregation in two signs. Established in 1985 by Rev. Willie Green, the church had a new pastor 26 years later when they paid off the note on the building. Things looked pretty prosperous when they purchased the engraved stone marking the burning of the mortgage. Recent years look less kind. The BLM sign has two letters hanging free when I walked by in February, suggesting a decline.
I learned a final chapter of sorts this week when I googled the church -- the date counter on its skeletal web page stopped rolling over in 2012. Googling pastor Butler, I learn he passed away a few months after I'd walked by. A viewing of his body was held at this church, but the funeral service was not.
There were dozens of earthquakes last night near Bodie Creek between Bridgeport, California and Hawthorne Nevada. The earthquakes included two of magnitude 5.7 and one of 5.5, in an area about 10 miles downstream from the town of Bodie, California.
By coincidence I was editing this sunset photo from Hawthorne last night, captured on my way back from Utah last month.
Walker Lake is important for migrating and nesting birds such as pelicans, but in recent years the lake level dropped significantly due to excessive diversions for agriculture. All fish including the Lahontan Cutthroat trout living in the lake died as the lake level dropped and the lake's mineral content and alkalinity rose. It is still used for water by bighorn sheep in the neighboring mountains.
One of the largest employers in Hawthorne is the U.S. Army, which stores and dismantles old bombs and ammunition there. How would you like to be working on a 700-pound bomb during a 5.7 earthquake?
