Aztec Ruins, New Mexico.
Visiting the ruins of the ancient Puebloan culture of the southwest is very intriguing. So much to see and so much to contemplate about this ancient people. We visited Mesa Verde, Chaco Canyon, Aztec Ruins, and Canyon De Chelly and I came away with so many questions and filled with wonder about the culture. I have been reading as much as time allows about these places. For a primer I recommend, "House of Rain", by Craig Childs.

Al Ula العلا is the base to access the ancient Nabatean city of Madain Saleh.
Al-Ula town is located in the north-western part of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia between Al-Madina and Tabuk. Al-Ulah in the past was known as Dydan. It is one of the biggest old urban areas located on the main trade route. Al-Ula used to be a crossroad between the civilizations of India and the south of the Arabian Peninsula and civilizations of Sham (Syria), Egypt and Iraq in the north from the old time until the first century B.C. Legend has it that the sun of this town vanished when Anbatt conquered the north of the Arabian Peninsula and Al-Ula fell to ruins as conquerors took Al Hajar town as their second capital. Here, there is a large number of tombs built and engraved in different engineering shapes such as Dydan, Muaieni, Lehyania, Thomodiah and Nabtiah decorations. One of the Islamic archaeological sites in Al-Ula is the fortress on the top of Al Musa Hill named after the famous Leader Musa Bin Naseer.

Zanskar is probably the most isolated valley in India and Phuktal is the remotest part of Zanskar. The Phuktal monastery is the epitome of monks living high up in the mountains, detached from the rest of the world. All of this made the trek to the Phuktal monastery an exciting adventure.

There were so many wonderful images to be taken at Deadvlei but this will be my last for awhile. I could not help but love this tree as it shows the the incredible lines and markings of the passing years. Probably hundreds and hundreds of years old the trunk is gnarled but with a beauty that I found truly amazing. It is hard to express ones feelings and the beauty that became so evident with the rising sun. Lighting up the surrounding Dunes with a reddish reflective light that was just awesome. Our world is filled with so many wonderful treasures and truly a privilege to see.
Wishing you an awesome and blessed Saturday !!

Went up to the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest with some other photographers this weekend. Had a great time. Especially as it was my first time there combined with my first time shooting the Milky Way.
This is just one single exposure with some subtle light painting. Hope everyone likes it.
