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.
Old volcanic cinder cones punctuate the horizon behind the bleak, snow covered lava fields of Iceland. The ever-setting sun provides little warmth.
Wisdom from previous masters. Bring a lens cover for your gear... I ran into a photographer that learned this lesson the hard way here. Fortunately my gear survived unscathed. Definitely go shoot. Don't try to eat your dinner... It's just going to turn out a bit crunchy and gritty.
There's something special about the former Rio Grande across the Utah desert and there are no shortage of ways to try to capture it in images. Standing on a small hill next to BLM road 328 with a 300mm zoom on a crop sensor camera this view of the distant La Sal mountains behind the Utah desert foreground contrasts the different scenery through this part of the west. Despite I70 being not very far away this stretch of the Rio Grande through Floy and Solitude seems especially remote. This view also makes it clear that the desert through here is far less than flat despite how it looks from some perspectives. 3/27/2016
A bit of abstract photography for today and another shot from Burnham on Sea.
After getting my photo of the lighthouse I just stood there on the beach for a while thinking how desolate it was. Stood there in the cold wind, it really wasn't a pleasant place to be and the feeling of loneliness and desolation really hit me. It was grey and miserable with not a lot going on, but I did see some nice patterns where the tide had gone out so I tried to find something I could make out of them.
This shot isn't going to be everyone's cup of tea but it reminds me of some kind of impressionist painting and to be honest, I think this would look nice in my bathroom lol!!

All is hushed except the fluttering and snapping and popping of the cloth undulating on the unseen force around our angel.
Peering down upon the masses and deciding if it is time to descend and ask "why do you keep calling me here with all this discontent of life and tossing aside friendships over trivial matters. You need each other in these times of restlessness. I don't wish to bring my kind of pain and desolation upon earth. Please think on what your doing to each other, so I might sit up here quietly and believe in humans once again."Then there is quiet again except for the fluttering and snapping and popping of the cloth and a angel sitting peering down.
A number of area in the northern area of the Death Valley were carpeted with beautiful yellow flowers.

The Trona Railway operates one of the most isolate and desolate piece of track in western United States. The scenery of the line along with a full roster of EMD product fresh from the 70s help to attract many people over these empty roads to the mining town.
Clearly showing the colours of their former owners even if they are badly burned by the merciless Death Valley sun, six SDs slowly pull an empty coal train out of Trona, ready to attack the 30 miles uphill ride toward the interchange point with Union Pacific in Searles, the railway's only connection with the outside world.

The Valley Of Desolation is a section of Camdeboo National Park, a far away park of the Eastern Cape, South Africa. Here the erosion of the softer sedimentary beds has left dolerite pillars which rise to heights of 90-120 metres. I shot this picture during a thunderstorm, when the beautiful light enhanced all tones of green of this amazing and desolate landscape.

It's April and it is raining (expected) but the cold front came and back to below season to postpone spring weather for some more. Took a break to take a coupe of photos by the beach. I ha just enough time before it started pouring before the evening and it has not let up since :|
