Snowy weather, so an excellent opportunity to go out and try to make some pictures.
I leave my vintage and antique cameras at home, take de Nikon D3s instead. Have to take off my gloves to control the camera so my fingers become cold and painful. However, still enjoying the vastness of the countryside of Groningen, Netherlands....

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.
Desolate, it really is one of the few single words that can be used to describe Rannoch Moor, one of the most incredible and wild parts of Scotland. This is the kind of location that makes Scotland the unique country that it is, from its very built up and densely populated central belt to the mountainous west highlands it is so diverse in so many ways. Nature really has packed an awful lot of interest into such a small country, no wonder we call it, "The Best Wee Country In The World."
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.
A number of area in the northern area of the Death Valley were carpeted with beautiful yellow flowers.

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!!

As much as I appreciated comments and feedback I would request no Awards or flashy gif comments, please. They will be deleted. Thank you.
Another abandoned farmhouse in northwest Iowa. I often wonder what happened to the families that lived in these old places.
Nice on black.

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.
