The only veil that stands between perception of what is underneath the desolate surface is your courage.
Dare to breach the surface and sink.

An empty BNSF ethanol train makes its way south on the Raton Sub near Timpas, CO aka the middle of nowhere!
A rare outing back in late 2020.
2021 hasn't offered much more.... hopefully soon.
I'm going to be very rusty when some level of freedom returns.
I suppose there is a silent beauty in desolation, but in all of my other photographs I have strived to show a lush beauty of the natural environment, elegance in human endeavor and a regeneration of hostile urban environments.
We need leaders who are interested in preserving the natural environment, and who are interested in cooperating with other nations to accomplish that goal. I am very concerned that our current leaders may not recognize the need to protect the environment.
(Rest assured that Lake Superior, and Presque Isle are still vibrant and lush...this picture was altered for effect to reflect what the world could look like if it is not cared for).

After years of nature restoration the peataera Vragenderveen has become a tough place for trees leaving a desolated feeling
Door succesvol herstel avn het hoogveen beginnen de bomen het steeds moeilijker te krijgen. Afgelopen zomer zijn veel berken opgeruimd met een kale desolate aanblik. Ziet apart, maar is een goed teken.
My New Years resolution is to post less and talk more. If you are interested, please go to my blog and see some comments on the image was shot and how it was processed.

More Cornwall, I love these old Engine houses wihich pepper the landscape there. This is atop Bodmin Moor at Minories.
I must confess to some disappointment with Dungeness, maybe that’s why this image has sat around on my hard disk for months, unloved and ignored.
Having seen many great images of abandoned shacks and tumble down structures from this locale I was surprised to find only this solitary hut, or what was left of it. Chatting to a local fisherman he said most of the old huts had fallen down during a winter storm a couple of years ago. There were a handful of old neglected boats but I struggled with compositions, and the boats themselves weren’t exactly what I had hoped for.
Dungeness is an interesting location, apparently classified as Britain’s only desert, and there is also a huge nuclear power station and lighthouse nearby. Should be a photographer’s dream, and If you haven’t been there is worth a visit for its uniqueness in the UK, but while it could be because of my ineptitude, I wouldn’t hold out too many hopes of finding a great composition.
Anyway, I thought it was high time that I posted my solitary half decent shot from this location.

It's official ... both of my grandchildren, who have been with me since their birth, are gone from my home. My daughter Julie bought a condo and she and Andrew moved out today ... There are just no words for me right now.
Another one in my series of headshots.

A trio of Canadian National and Bessemer SD40-3 rebuilds from Southern Pacific EMD SD45T-2s roll a northbound limestone train along MN route 7.
With the limited vehicle traffic in the Iron Range on this route, there was NO chance of getting run over.
Heading out from the Grand Canyon there are several parking areas where there is usually a tribal vendor or two and then there are some boulders or concreate blocks to stop idiots driving to the canyon edges. So after going pass the parking area I had to walk a couple hundred meters down to this gravel road to a local canyon edge. I guess they don't bodies from some fools out to earn their Darwin awards falling over the edge as I am sure the fire ants, ravens, crows and vultures will make quick work of their splattered remains.
