With our family we went to the amusement park 'Juliana Toren' in Apeldoorn, The Netherlands. At the end of the day, even the covered terraces were empty. No wonder, it was rainy since 14:00 hours and very cold. Here we drunk warm chocolate milk before returning home.
Desolate. Cold. Deserted. Lost. Well, not really, as this seagull flies over the frozen Sea of Okhotsk, off the coast of north east Hokkaido, Japan. Flying further north, it'll reach Russia :)

Found a hidden away spot when I took a walk by myself on some out of commission train tracks. A love seat and this chair were resting there. I definitely want to use this spot soon for model shots.

there's a whispering wind I feel it inside
like a place I can feel but never will see
let a whisper come touch you come touch every thing
I stand in the way of the things I can be.

In a laneway out the back of some businesses in Clementi, Singapore. Black and white film, pushed two stops.
This was taken in Atlantic City on the East coast of the USA a few years ago. Its the beach front prominade just near the Hilton Hotel and this structure looked like it had been abandoned for a while. It was a rainy, stormy day, Gloomy and brooding...

This is day 7 of 30 in my personal challenge to post a photo to Flickr every day in April 2013. See the rest in the 30 Days of Creativity set.
Here's a picture I actually took today! I am currently on a road trip with a couple of friends to Napa Valley. We stopped at the Castello Di Amorosa Winery—a huge, stone, medieval-style castle. Inside one of the rooms, my friend David found this awesome hallway behind a gate. It was lit just right for this awesome shot. I couldn't wait to share it, so I made it today's 30 Days of Creativity photo of the day. Enjoy!
I bumped the ISO up to 800 so I could get a fairly steady handheld shot at 1/10sec. Had I brought my tripod, I might have gotten a lower ISO/shutter setting. Not much post-processing. Just light level/contrast adjustments and a 16:9 crop.

Noon 612 pinhole . 2 minute exposure. This was shot on ektacolor 100 but scanned as mono as flare screwed up the colours. This was taken in a local valley called desolation valley . So named because it used to be a wooded valley but the trees were destroyed in a great storm in 1836.

Another shot of the morning Liverpoool-Newcastle, this time with a class 47 at the helm. Sometime in early '76. Actually it might have been the Liverpool portion of the combined Liverpool/Manchester-Glasgow/Edinburgh train, which was usually a 47. 35mm Tri X/Unitol.
...and frustrated! Now that I've finally caught up with work stuff, I couldn't edit anything I liked to save my life =P Blech. So, here you get deserted house + log + texture in BW.
Good night, flickr.

Our Daily Challenge ... create a mood.
It was late afternoon, completely overcast with rain threatening. I had been labouring for most of the day building a new garden. When I saw the challenge I did some quick research and went for a drive to try to find a suitable subject before dark. I wouldn't go so far as to say I was feeling desolate but I was certainly feeling rather drained, lacking energy and uninspired, so in a way I guess this image reflects my mood this afternoon.

Most of this set look great in colour. But this particular shot looks better in a moody BW. :)

The Valley of Desolation is a unique Karoo landscape and ecosystem that surrounds the town of Graaff-Reinet, creating a type of oasis in the midst of the aridness of the Karoo.
The Wilderness Act of 1964
“A wilderness, in contrast with those areas where man and his own works dominate the landscape, is hereby recognized as an area where the earth and community of life are untrammeled by man, where man himself is a visitor who does not remain.”
The Desolation Wilderness was established in 1969.
Previously known as the Desolation Valley Primitive Area.
Went fishing in Hólmarnir near Kirkjubæjarklaustur, east of Iceland.
The surroundings of the water stream is all in black sand with mountains in the distance, it's quite strange to be fishing in this landscape.
