An atmospheric river of epic proportions approaches Death Valley. It may look menacing but as a local resident explained, “we get a lot of teaser clouds here that look like they are going to bring stormy weather but it’s only a bluff”. This time, however, the clouds did deliver and the downpour that followed caused mud slides, power outages and flooded roadways on one exciting day in the desert…
“But in the desert, in the pure clean atmosphere, in the silence – there you can find yourself. And unless you begin to know yourself, how can you even begin to search for God?”
― Father Dioscuros
Hawthorne, Nevada: nicknamed "America's Patriotic Home." Probably because it once sported the largest military ammunition cache in the U.S. But that was then. The military is long gone and now the town is a destination for military enthusiasts who like poking through the thousands of obsolete artillery storage bunkers and visiting the museum to view shells, bullets, and other means of mass destruction. Personally, I prefer the beauty of the local desert, where you can see wild horses running unbridled and free.
Happy Slider's Sunday everyone

I was happy with this taken straight from the camera: www.flickr.com/photos/cloud_spirit/48438966037/
but thought this new version was more realistic with respect to contrast and color balance.

In The Anza Borrego, desert clouds can be beautiful and deadly. There is always the potential for flash floods, luckily this area has a limited drainage volume and is a bit safer. Nothing like leaving the car park and returning to find it swept away.

Our last day we spent the evening in Arches National Park in Utah. I went ahead of the family and took some presunset images and then drove back to the hotel to pick them up for what was intended were some short hikes around Delicate Arch and the Windows section of the park.
As we were driving in, the front of a short storm was coming in. The wind picked up to 60 miles per hour as we reached the park. I got out of the car and walked just a short distance to this location with the wind behind me and the sand of the desert pelting the back of my legs. I fired off a few rounds of the camera and captured this scene. I quickly scurried back to the car for safety. We waited about an hour inside the park and shot a few more locations before calling it quits for the night. I was probably the one only one that thought this but it was a perfect way to end our Holiday.

Traveling light engines on June 25, 2004, Union Pacific’s LJP45 “dirt train” local trundles into East Carbon under a spectacular thunderhead building over Utah’s Book Cliffs. Three Rio Grande SD40T-2 Tunnel Motors (5371, 5390 and 5349) serve as power for today’s local, which will pick up empties at the landfill operation at East Carbon and take them back to Helper.
The army desert colored heritage unit has a matching grain train well in-hand as it takes the clear signal here at Vermillion crossover on the River Sub. This might be the only unit where road grime adds a little to the aesthetic. All it needs is a 120mm tank gun mounted on top.
When we spent a night in the desert, a storm came up in the evening. We had to hurry back from the dune to our camp. Our guide M'Barek (on the photo) led us back

On a dark and gray, cold and snowless January 15, 1995, Burlington Northern No. 1991 leads Soo Line hotshot train 425 past the Brookfield, Wisconsin, depot, as a grain train flies by on the eastbound main. A large seal of the United States graces the mostly white front of the locomotive specially-painted EMD SD60M to honor U.S. troops serving in Operation Desert Storm in the Gulf War.
