The barren zone created by a retreating Glacier can be one of the most desolate places on earth.
This one in south eastern Iceland was huge, with just a single electric pylon running its entire length.
Shot here in Monochrome under stormy skies, I loved the atmospherics and isolation in this image.
As I entered this devastated hall, I was immediately struck by the dramatic power of the scene. My intention was to capture the very essence of desolation while preserving a certain beauty within the chaos. I chose to work with the faint natural light filtering in, creating these warm tones that contrast with the blackness of the debris. The perspective framing, guided by the rows of charred seats, draws the eye towards the back of the room, suggesting the immensity of the destruction.
I wanted every detail to tell a story - the twisted metal structures on the ceiling, the seats frozen in their final position, the walls bearing the scars of the disaster. This photograph isn't just a document of destruction; it's also a reflection on the fragility of our living and cultural spaces. By working with a long exposure and choosing this precise angle, I sought to create an almost surreal atmosphere, as if suspended in time, where beauty paradoxically emerges from chaos.

Death Valley, California
We are standing on the dry wash from Desolation Canyon, admiring the view across the salt flats towards the Panamint Mountains.
This photo-video visits the desolate land of Death Valley, California. Photographed in 2010 and 2011.
This month has been such a dark & dismal one. The sun has hardly peeked out from behind heavy cloud cover. This desolate farm scene was a perfect example of the week. I especially like the “Turner” Sky; if you look closely above the tree, you can see a low sun trying hard to break through.
Isolation In Desolation, the famous cottage near the summit of Hartside Pass on the way to Alston. I have passed this place many a time, never really working out the best way to photograph the cottage. Going through a black and white phase i realised within this landscape, a mono shot was best.
Old Gang Lead Smelting Mill.
I wanted this to be as "bleak, grim and gritty" as I could get it. (I think the look of patchy snow given by infrared helps.) The average life expectancy of those who worked here was 45! Children were sent up the flues, that follow the contours of the fellside, to scrape of the lead that was deposited there from the poisonous smoke from the smelter!
Not a rural idyll!
On the Fells above Reeth, between Swaledale and Arkengarhdale. The desolation seems complete, as the lead poisoned slag heaps and streamsides are bare of most plants,
(except some very stunted grass), after over a century of disuse.
I spent several hours of a mainly grey day wandering around here. Probably best (for photography), in the sort of weather that has, wet rocks, black, moody clouds and sunrays.
From the web: " This site is the largest remaining smelting complex in the Yorkshire Dales and also contains various stores and workshops of the Old Gang Mine. At the rear of the site is the earliest mill which was known as the New Mill because it replaced earlier mills. This mill began smelting in 1797. In front of this is a larger mill usually referred to as Old Gang Mill which began smelting around 1846. The last smelting on this site took place in 1907. This valley probably has the biggest concentration of lead smelting mills in the country. The first mills were constructed in the 17th century and for more than 200 years this... valley was a hive of industry. "

Hours before the dawn when cold winds offered comfort.
A darkness hangs in the air a seething for the night.
The screams of fallen angels.
I've learned to love it here.
This is where the dark and hate await.
My name written among the grim shadows.
A poisoned heart now in attack.
Tear past the flesh of life.
A life buried in black.
This castle courtyard, a theater for misery.
A thrown to unseat the living.
The lust of death burns in me.
Welcome the night.
Arise, the dead are upon us.
And with them, my name written among grim shadows.
Welcome the night.

I had an amazing and tough hike into the Desolation Wilderness last weekend, looking for new waterfalls. This is the lower 23 ft. section of a very tall cascade dropping from Pyramid Peak. This was the most interesting part of the falls, and the only part that was mostly in shade. Read my blog for all the details.

one of the common detention chambers at tuol sleng, tried to convey the opressive ambiance which I felt there, tuol sleng, s-21, cambodia, phnom pehn, when I visited it I just realized this place of death is just three blocks from where I live
This is a shot taken in The New Forest, Hampshire. As you can see this part of the forest is mainly scrub
Remnants of trees that were killed as an invasive species are still standing towering above the native flora along Stump Pass Beach's beautiful shoreline on the Gulf of Mexico. Along the mile stretch of beach, seashells and shark teeth wash up, swimmers frolick in the waves and anglers fish the surf. White snowy egrets, least terns, and magnificent frigatebirds are found along the coastline.
The park and its beach are situated at the southwest corner of Charlotte County in southwestern Florida. It is located at the south end of Manasota Key, accessible from off I-75 at exit 191. Don't park your vehicle in the parking lot at the park if you want to take sunset pictures--the parking lot closes at sunset and you may end up being fined!
