Near Dyer, Nevada.
This was on an impressive property with a number of buildings including a house, a couple of underground bunkers, this tankhouse, a barn, and other less interesting structures. The design of the barn strikes me as quite unique with the windows on the second floor. Most of the barns with which I'm familiar do not have windows at that level. I wonder if there were some living quarters up there.

The Sierra Nevada Mountains are an impressive sight from the east side. This shot was taken from a short hike from the Whitney Portal Road. Lone Pine Peak is the 12,944 foot mountain on the left that looks like the tallest; that is a perspective illusion. Mount Whitney, the tallest mountain in the lower 48, is 14,505 feet. It is in the middle of the image.
We went to see an Ansel Adams exhibit a couple days ago and I was intrigued by his use of black skies. I can see I need a lot more practice in processing black and white images!
Happy Monochrome Monday!
The split vane or bucket of a large 15-ton 12 foot Pelton Wheel outside of the Nevada City California Ott’s Assay Office in Robinson Plaza donated to Nevada City by PG&E that was in use from 1928-1987 at Drum Powerhouse #4. The Pelton Wheel was developed in Camptonville California by Millwright Lester A. Pelton in 1877 who tapped into the technology that innovative miners had designed to concentrate a strong stream of water to disrupt gravel and dirt referred to as hydraulic mining. Pelton split bucket where which is what I’ve captured in this image, allowed tapping the vast waterpower of the mountains of the Sierra Nevada’s to power using kinetic energy & power to drive machinery such as rock crushers, stamp mills, hoists & compressors prior to electricity being available. Pelton split bucket design was 90% efficient and like this wheel was used to generate electricity once that became the major source of energy.

Turning away from the playa of the Smoke Creek Desert at Sano, the rails of Western Pacific's Fifth Subdivision start up the east side of Sand Pass. Highlighting the route, with over 13K feet and 20K tons, a westbound North Platte, Nebraska to Fresno, California manifest makes the climb to Sand Pass.

An old rail bridge, now converted to a pedestrian crossing, spans the Truckee River in Wadsworth, Nevada. Wadsworth is the entryway to the Pyramid Lake Paiute Reservation. It is also a great place to view fall color along the river.

Towards the end of my day at Red Rock the setting sun was starting to cast a nice golden glow upon the area. Tired from one moderate hike and several bush whackings in hot desert heat off the side of the road I spied some individuals with tripods on top of some rocks, pulled over and scrambled up to them to see this nice set of small hills. We exchanged pleasantries, talked gear and they were all foreign travelers. A Frenchman, a Chinese fellow and a Turkish college student. They were all first time travelers to the area and they enjoyed when I offered them advise about places in Nevada Utah, Arizona and California and then we got into a long deeper discussion about to them the inexplicable at least to them results of the last US election.

I captured this in Northern Nevada in the Winter a few years ago. This was some of the best light I have ever seen.
