Nothing but open fields and coal trains in Northeastern Wyoming, as yet another load of coal from North Antelope Mine rolls down Logan Hill for the New Madrid Power-plant in Missouri. Running under the symbol C NAMNMA-168A, this will be the 168th train of the year for the plant.

Reprocessing an old picture... this is perfect for my mood today
Field on the outskirts of ghostly Dickens, NE. circa 2010. Dickens was never a big town,but was big enough to have a post office, school, and a small main street at one time long ago. The town became famous for being accidentally "bombed" on a practice run by the local air force base back during WW II.Apparently the lights of the town looked close to the actual bomb site. The "bombs" were full of sand and did little damage thankfully. But what a story!
Here we are now, some years after
You, and me, and funny laughter
Don’t be scared – it’s only dark
Soon you’ll hear a meadowlark
Don’t give up — just one more try
Rainbows soon will fill the sky
See us in our upper limbos
Peeking through the blinds on windows
Down below with far as wide is
Slick is kissing Old King Midas
Silly birds who should know better
Tell each hero, "Go and get her"
Lady Luck’s the one they’re after
Now, and also ever after
Gosh oh golly-gee, she’s crying
Fortune teller, are you lying?
Do you see the noses growing?
Wonder where the truth is going...

I had heard that name before from stories my gran used to tell me of her travels but I had no idea where it was. In December I decided to plan a little road trip to Cape Town which included a stop to find little gems in the Karoo and the Valley of Desolation jumped out at me. We ended up staying in a beautiful mystical little town called Nieu Bethesda which we fell in love with immediately. We headed to Graaff Reinet at sunset to see the balancing columns of Dolerite which makes up the Valley of Desolation also known as ‘Cathedral in the mountains’. Its that type of view that makes you want to stop, sit down and just gaze in silence and awe.
Experience the awe-inspiring natural beauty of the Valley of Desolation with my stunning pen drawing illustration. Capturing the rugged and dramatic landscape of this unique and iconic South African destination, this illustration is a true work of art. The intricate details and expert linework bring the majestic cliffs and towering rock formations to life, while the muted tones and natural colour palette create a sense of serenity and tranquillity.

We hiked Desolation Canyon in Death Valley NP. It lives up to the name. No plant life lives on the walls of this canyon and no animals either, other than a few tourists. Some of the Star Wars movies were filmed here.

Since I am back at school, I'm feeling like this project's going to be harder to accomplish each week as I get more to do and have less free time so I apologize if pictures aren't uploaded on time.
Last week, I waited until Friday to take pictures, and they didn't turn out as I planned. I was thinking about doing what I wanted in an abandoned place. I wanted someplace desolate to almost mimic how I was feeling since arriving back to school. It took a while for us to find the right place and to get what I wanted, but most of all, this picture was a lot like self portrait therapy, which was exactly what I wanted out of this picture.
