Sunset twilight over Mt Humphreys above Desolation Lake, John Muir Wilderness. Taken a few feet from my camp in the High Sierra.

This walk is getting tough now. Having departed the relative shelter of Homerton Hill we trudged along the West Oakment River into the heart of Dartmoor. Not a sole in sight - this was getting very remote. At least the sun was out now.
In this stretch, we had to negotiate rocky boulders, gnarly slippery tree roots and numerous streams. On reflection, these were a breeze because as we progressed up the valley, the terrain became increasing boggy. My walking poles were being employed as makeshift dip sticks but despite this, my boots plunged into hidden bogs on more than one occasion. Thank heavens for Gore-Tex!! Progress was very slow as we were walking sideways as much as forward looking to avoid the boggiest areas. Anybody analysing our zig-zaggy path as mapped by the GPS would have swore we were drunk.
Our route guide warned of another 3 miles of this, but enough was enough. As soon as we found a way to cross the river (not visible in this photo) we climbed the ridge and joined more distinctive paths. A good move.
Taken in Laurel, MD at what used to be known as Oak Hill Academy Youth Center; now known as The Maya Angelou Academy at New Beginnings, which is one of the Maya Angelou Public Charter School campuses; a part of the nonprofit, See Forever Foundation.
Brand new facilities have been built, but this is one of the old buildings that still remain on the property.
The mysterious Valley of Desolation is the best place to experience the plains of the Camdeboo and get the real feel of what the Karoo is about. When the sky is clear you will be able to see as far as your eye can.

i finally made it this year to the amazing location that is Bombo Headland in Kiama... the landscape is just something straight out of some alien movie with the rugged basalt rocks amazingly sculpted by various forces... i went for some b&w shots because the weather was somewhat bleak and uncooperative...

For 700 years, Doel stood near Antwerp along the Scheldt River in Belgium, and includes a home that once belonged to the family of painter Peter Paul Reubens. As Antwerp expanded in the 20th century, its port needed more space, and Doel quickly became a target for demolition. Trying to force residents out, the government scheduled demolitions multiple times, but were beaten by popular protests from the 1970s through the 1990s.
But despite the will of the people, Doel could not be saved and in 1999, the town was officially scheduled for complete demolition. In 2007, a campaign group called Doel 2020 set into motion a plan to ensure Doel’s survival by turning it into a haven for street artists. Since that time, residents have trickled out as artists have made their way in. The increasingly abandoned town became the perfect playground for street artists from across Europe to debut their works around Doel.
Today, there are only about 25 inhabitants left, all of whom are bravely flaunting mandates that they vacate their homes immediately. Meanwhile the town has been transformed into a post-apocalyptic artistic paradise thanks to the murals covering each and every building. Despite these people’s stubborn refusal to leave, the government plans to continue with demolition, at which point all traces of Doel, from residents’ homes to the the living street art, will be lost forever.

I keep flipping back to the news channels - CNN, BBC, Reuters, NPR, Pravda and watching as Europe slides closer and closer to war.
I watch as one of the world's super powers invades a sovereign country without provocation. Can there ever be sufficient provocation?
They are relying on their strength and the fears of the rest of Europe and the world to accomplish their goals, which to me, seem to be horrifyingly similar to those of Nazi Germany at the beginning of the second world war.
I am afraid.
I feel desolate.
The second lead on the news sites is the Academy Awards.
That makes me even more afraid.
