ocean city's boardwalk was pretty empty yesterday, as you can tell by this ride.
Backpacking trip to Red Peak and Lake #3, Desolation Wilderness, El Dorado National Forest, California. || Photo info: Taken 2022-08-21 with Canon EOS 5D Mark IV, EF24-70mm f/2.8L II USM, ¹⁄₄₀ sec at f/4.0, focal length 59 mm, ISO ISO 200. Copyright 2022 .
Life may not all of sunshine be, we know
The clouds must sometimes gather overhead,
And tears, like rains, fall fast upon our hearts,
And hopes before keen sorrow's blast fall dead.
Like a lone house--as desolate it stands--
Our hearts seem oftentimes, alas! to be;
But Faith shall ope the doors and windows wide,
And Hope shall enter with sweet Charity.
And as the rain all nature doth refresh,
When earth's fair blossoms droop beneath the sun,
So we, refreshed, thro' mist of tears look forth,
And feel our joys re-blossom one by one.
Mary Dow Brine (1816-1913)

Roaming The Boulevard, carrying Leica Q2 Monochrom, on Super Bowl Sunday, I stopped to take photos of brewery patrons (www.flickr.com/photos/joewilcox/51892421869/) and Red Fox Restaurant (www.flickr.com/photos/joewilcox/51880739518/). But I botched the street shot of El Cajon and Texas, which attempted salvage is this close-crop.
The sun set 17 minutes earlier but that intersection is below the horizon, making for a darker dusk and opportunity to spotlight the camera’s lowlight capabilities, which benefit from there being no color overlay on the full-frame sensor.
The approaching cars are in North Park. The other side of the street, from where I stood, is University Heights. Both are considered to be among San Diego’s more desirable neighborhoods. While many of the homes are humble—and overpriced—their architectural styles are varied and the mature, manicured properties ooze character. Both communities are also coveted for their walkability and increasing number of bike lanes. If you don’t commute to work, you conceivably don’t need a car; although about that idea city planners and I disagree.
The title of this photo is chosen for two reasons: 1) The unusually desolate El Cajon during the big game. 2) Homage to glam rockers Sweet and their record album of the same name, Desolation Boulevard. As a teenager, I owned the U.S. version of the LP issued in 1975.
-the summit of Armboth Fell.
I think that Armboth Fell gets a rough deal in terms of positive regard, for even the famous guidebook writer A. Wainwright wrote “walkers may justifiably consider its ascent a waste of time and energy when so many more rewarding climbs are available, for the flat desolate top is little better than a quagmire, a tangle of swamp and heather and mosses, as is much of the surrounding territory. It can be said of very few fells that they are not really worth climbing; Armboth Fell is one of the few”.
I feel that Wainwright’s words are rather harsh and, whilst not to everybody’s taste, Armboth Fell is a wonderfully remote and desolate moorland habitat flourishing in wildlife. Every time I visit, I encounter groups of deer and hovering birds of prey. It is certainly a tranquil escape from other people, and definitely one of my favourite places.

Waiting for the Sunrise on the border between Jade Mountain and Alishan (阿里山) we saw this desolate landscape. The sunrise was a nonevent but the views were still spectacular.
Brent and my younger brother and I drove to the Salton Sea in October, because I heard of a place that many photographers visit called Bombay Beach. When we got there, we all just kind of stood there in silence, because it was truly the most desolate and surreal place I've ever seen. There was a trailer park in this area of the beach once, but it flooded, and now there's just empty rotting shells of trailers and vehicles. I think this may have been a UPS truck. Everything is encrusted with salt, and the "sand" is made up of mostly fish bones. Everything was shades of white . . . from the salt to the sand to the sky. It smelled of dead fish and there were fish heads everywhere. It was one of the most disturbing experiences I've had in my life.
Little did I know
That I almost let you go
Until I caught a glimpse of life
without you
Little did I know
How deep these roots had grown
Until I felt the earth quake here
without you
And this ache is gonna break me love
Until you come back home
Right or wrong
There is no home without you
And these eyes are never gonna dry
I never knew how I could cry
Until I thought I'd really lost you

A Lonely, Deserted House in the middle of nowhere...

Hike: Water taxi across Echo Lakes. Hike to PCT and Lake Lucille. Snow around 8000. High 70-80s. Little breeze. Trail marked well in snow. High lakes still partially frozen. Extremely cold. No fish seen. Large suncups in exposed areas. Snow melting and shaping like icebergs inside treeline. Sturdy boots or trailrunners work. No need for gaiters. Morning ascent of steep terrain would need micro-spikes. Mosquitos pretty bad in morning and twilight. Need netting. Hiking around Lake Aloha is mostly on snow. Beware snow glare exposure. Night lows upper 30-40s. Lake refroze at night. Lots of stream activity due to snow melt runoff. Trails are wet. Lots of waterfalls in key areas. (USDA photo by Paul Wade)
Yes, I received your letter yesterday
(About the time the door knob broke)
When you asked how I was doing
Was that some kind of joke?
All these people that you mention
Yes, I know them, they're quite lame
I had to rearrange their faces
And give them all another name
Right now I can't read too good
Don't send me no more letters no
Not unless you mail them
From Desolation Row
