Happy New Year all. Here is a new one from close to home. California’s rain-a-thon has taken a break but before it did, I nabbed a shot of this cool scene at high flow.

Taken about a year ago in the remote Alvord Desert, where I am as I am sending this in! :) Even got lightning today too!
Another photo from the archives that I processed recently. It comes from the sand dunes near town of Cervantes in Western Australia, where we spent an evening shooting the dunes at sunset and dusk.
In moments like this, as one gazes at the stars away from civilisation, it is hard not to think of our existence on this planet and in the universe at large. At the time I was trying to imagine what celestial forces shaped the life and universe as we know it and standing under the starry sky really emphasised to me how small we are in the grand scheme of things.
Overriding Forces.

I spent the weekend with some amazing landscape photographers and we had great light throughout (which never happens!).
Yesterday, the wind was immense, blowing sand across the beach and causing spindrift as the waves crashed into the rocky outcrops of the Gower peninsula. Very occasionally the clouds would part at the right time for the light to catch.
I’ve never had the chance to capture waves like this before, and who can help but be inspired by Rachael Talibart's Tides and Tempest series? I mean, it helps that she was one of the people I was hanging out with all weekend!
Anyway, this is my interpretation of some seriously epic waves.
We interrupt our regularly scheduled Iceland landscape programming to bring you recent footage of an event in Death Valley California, where the desert dunes at Mesquite seemingly summoned forth the mighty forces of howling wind and apocalyptic rain to scour themselves clean of all traces of human intrusion. This buried branch of some once mighty Mesquite tree crooks its withered arm to conjure up forces of power beyond imagining (well actually, I stuck around to watch from the safety of my car, so I can now imagine them pretty well).
All fictional allegories aside, I managed to free up a late afternoon from a conference in Vegas and I was trying to decide where to go shoot, but we'd been surrounded by some crappy weather for several days and it looked to me like the only hope of an opening was to the west over Death Valley, so that's where I headed, dreaming of finally getting that burning sunset over some water-filled polygons on the Badwater basin. However, when I crested the road near Furnace creek and could see the basin stretched out, I saw a distinct cloud of sand dust over what I guessed would be Mesquite Dunes and so changed my plans to head in to the heart of the sandstorm. Having seen many great windswept dune pictures over the years but never having managed to get one myself, I figured I had a chance at doing both that AND sunset over at Badwater. Sometimes I get greedy as a photographer and my eyes grow wider than my mental scheduler and reasonable speed limits can deliver. In any case, I arrived at Mesquite pleased to find the wind whipping up a frenzy of sand and that the wind had erased what are normally an army's worth of footprints all over the dunes. So glory be, I had a chance. Many shots (and mouthfuls of grit) later, I did come away with some interesting pics, as well as with more lessons in shooting in windy conditions.
Unfortunately my sunset plans were blown (pun intended) by a layer of cloud that popped up right at the last minute to obscure the sun. However, these terrific storm clouds coming in from the north over the Funeral mountain range provided an interestingly gloomy backdrop to the late afternoon sun rays illuminating the dust clouds. Heck, I didn't even have to make up fictional names to go with my fire-and-damnation title, Death Valley is full of grim sounding names already!
An International Security Assistance Force Special Operations Forces sniper is in position overlooking the Tagab Valley while a Road Maintenance Team checkpoint is being built in Tagab, Afghanistan, Nov. 26, 2010. Afghan civilians, RMT members, International Security Assistance Force Special Operations Forces and Afghan National Police-Provincial Response Company members all helped to build the checkpoint.
For the Macromondays theme "Opposites" I thought in invisible forces, like gravity or magnetic fields in the physical world; and also another kind of force for us people: Emotions, hate and love.
In all those cases we need the complementary opposite. As result we have a world as we know it.
The popular trick with the coins can be done -so as I know- only with magnets; so I made it in representation of the invisible forces that glue us.
As usual, 100% SOOC. Macromondays theme: "Opposites".

This is the first time I've walked along this stretch of beach, on the north side of a county park. I noticed this 10x10 inch post half buried in the sand. Nothing in the immediate area uses that size post (other than the pier several hundred feet down the beach), so I'm guessing this was driven there by the storm surge during Hurricane Harvey in August 2017. I don't know if the wind is currently eroding the dune away from it, or if the wind is slowly burying it in the dune, although I suspect the latter. In either case it showcases the forces of wind and water. For 120 pictures in 2020 #43 "Forces of nature".
Lately I have been much more interested in the Italian campaign, so here you go. I know it isn't completely accurate, but I think it came out nicely. Decal credit to Roaglaan.

So thought I'd snap a quick pic of these together now I have these new helmets, they complete my models for sure. Just used what I had at hand, photo ain't great..camera phone mixed with shooting white and black vehicles on limited time! I will swap it for better later all being well. Anyways another UN vehicle is in the works to add to this collection ; )
