I've always loved the beginning BW segment of the Wizard of Oz film. In particular the scenes where Dorothy meets Professor Marvel just before the storm brews up. The sepia tones, the dusty landscape, the dark clouds, the shadows, it's all part of classic visual storytelling. It sets the mood and atmosphere before even a word of dialog is spoken. I think, like most of us, scenes from that film are hard wired into my mind because we first viewed it at such a young age, and probably multiple times. All these years later, I still react to environments that remind me of the film. I'm insipred to attempt to recreate them photographically.
An abandoned, derelict croft in Balallan, it would have gifted the owner a spectacular view of Loch Erisort and the hills on the other side of the loch when it was lived in.
The first of many misty shots that I have from the wonderful Dinorwic slate mine, taken on a Tuesday when we were meant to be heading to the coast. However, passing through Llanberis we made an executive decision and I'm glad we did as we lost ourselves for 4 hours in this wonderful and vast place.
One of my favourite London views is this angle of St Paul's, and due to the beauty of LE almost a taste of how this may look after the unthinkable…desolate!!…me and my warped mind ;-)
If not for that stupa with a few flags to it, you'd think I was on an icy snowy moon somewhere. Not a green plant in sight!
The dying dead sea is creating many small hypersaline lakes that will eventually morph into sinkholes, once all the evaporites looses all their water content.
When I first saw this - in a National Park - I assumed that some terrible plant disease had caused this catastrophic deforestation of Eucalypts.
However, I subsequently learnt that the culprit was in fact: Koalas! Too many of them. They were so numerous that they had consumed their entire food source (the leaves of the trees) and were now starving as a consequence.
Thankfully, there is now a relocation program, to remove the excess Koalas to areas with a more plentiful food supply.
Deslated
The blackened, bleak burnt out ground was created by the volcano eruption in 1986. The locals tried to built the new buildings on these desolated land.

In the early afternoon, the Trona Railway traveling conductor headed towards Pinnacle to meet the 6 SD40s to hop on the train on the way to Searles to pick up their loads to bring back to Trona. After the light power passed us, the desert landscape made for a great photo showing both the heat waves in 90+ degree weather and the famous Mojave desert.
