****

You lie, silent there before me

Your tears, they mean nothing to me

The wind howling at the window

The love you never gave

I give to you

Really don't deserve it

But now, there's nothing you can do

So sleep, in your only memory

Of me, my dearest mother

Here's a lullaby to close your eyes

Goodbye

It was always you that I despised

I don't feel enough for you to cry, oh well

Here's a lullaby to close your eyes

Goodbye

Goodbye

Goodbye

Goodbye

So insignificant, sleeping dormant deep inside of me

Are you hiding away, lost, under the sewers?

Maybe flying high, in the clouds?

Perhaps you're happy without me

So many seeds have been sown in the field

And who could have sprout up so blessedly

If I had died, I would have never felt sad at all

You will not hear me say 'I'm sorry'

Where is the light, wonder if it's weeping somewhere?

Here's a lullaby to close your eyes

Goodbye

It was always you that I despised

I don't feel enough for you to cry, oh well

Here's a lullaby to close your eyes

Goodbye

Here's a lullaby to close your eyes

Goodbye

It was always you that I despised

I don't feel enough for you to cry, oh well

Here's a lullaby to close your eyes

Goodbye

Goodbye

Goodbye

Goodbye

Suppressive Desolation.

 

Excrementitia illis facultatibus flexu sinuoso palpating argutos oculos meos cor meum condensatione universum oppido lassus spiritus repugnat existentiae tradat,,

Combaterea pedepselor coșmarul conștiinței perpetuă insomnie extremă impenetrabil sufletul răspândirea condamnat tenacitate nebunie,

Disperazione giudizi imperfezioni gonfiando forze enormi ridicolo devasta parole esorbitanti tormenti criminali trascinando ideali radicali,

Geschlagenes Fleisch kochend Feuer schreiend Dunkelheit gefürchtete Region mächtige Foul Montage drohende Intentionen lachen Dämonen riesig,

هاريد أوتكاستس تحلق اللعنات تستهلك الأكاذيب مذهلة الكراهية الغيوم خطط افتراضية الغضب مزعجة الغضب الفكري,

Bezowocna ognista zemsta spalająca burza cierpiąca wiecznie dekrety połykanie lekcji rozbijających wagi wskazujące palce straszliwych sił,

かすかな野生の獣の痛みを苦しめる致命的な致命的な可燃性のトリック夢のような舌の衝動的な寸法騒々しい煙悪意のある航海の嘲笑.

oil pump in winter ... central Illinois

An empty sulfuric acid train drops down Cumbre Pass towards Pratt.

In a few moments of time: vapors, coughing, gasping for breath. Mortal agony! They stagger, trying to clear their lungs, clutching their chest with their hands. Lungs burning like fire: moaning, groaning, the doomed, the dying. Oh, the panic, the screams, the terror! Falling to their knees, they give a final cough, making one last attempt to get up from their knees. Face down they fall, still as death. Tears run down my face, as I realize the magnitude of our sins! I tremble and shake as these words run through my mind: Repent, for the kingdom of God is at hand!

 

Don’t you know that desolation upon desolation has been decreed? Nuclear warfare! Chemical warfare! Biological warfare! Look into the Holy Book, take heed.

  

Desolation Sound is a deep-water sound at the northern end of the Salish Sea and of the Sunshine Coast in British Columbia, Canada.

23 1/2 minute exposure after the moon-set. The green light on the highest post is from a mercury vapor spotlight 1/4 mile inland. I used the new GND tool in Lightroom 2.0 to brighten up the foreground.

 

Must be seen BIG

The desert and the ocean are realms of desolation on the surface. The desert is a place of bones, where the innards are turned out, to desiccate into dust. The ocean is a place of skin, rich outer membranes hiding thick juicy insides, laden with the soup of being.Inside out and outside in. These are worlds of things that implode or explode, and the only catalyst that determines the direction of eco-movement is the balance of water.Both worlds are deceptive, dangerous. Both, seething with hidden life.The only veil that stands between perception of what is underneath the desolate surface is your courage.Dare to breach the surface and sink.

Peak District National Park, UK.

Warsaw, Central Station, some time ago

Amsterdam, April 2020

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!

HDR I took in my region at sunset today, one of the first days of the season where it was sunny at sunset and there was snow... which fell last year! :)

“The first thing I remember about the world...is that I was a stranger in it. This feeling, which is at once the glory and desolation of homosapiens, provides the only thread of consistency that I can detect in my life.”

Desolation Wilderness, Ca.

 

The Milkyway, as seen from Desolation Wilderness. This was shot from camp on my backpacking trip earlier this month. Every star that you see is actually in the Milkyway but we commonly refer to the streak across the sky as the Milkyway. The Milkyway is our Galaxy, which is shaped similar to Saturn and it's rings. Consider the milky streak of stars across our sky to be the rings as seen from within itself. Regardless, when you get it this dark out you can't help but marvel at it.

 

66 second exposure at 2.8 and ISO 2000. If you look at the stars on the outer edge of the image you can see that 66 seconds produces enough movement to show some blur.

The eerie cries of coyotes in the night bring gruesome scenes at dawn.

The Excelsior slowly decomposing in the swamps of Mutton Cove. I tried something a bit different with the post processing going for a darker, grungier look.
