Was getting a bit desperate so I just nipped out this evening and took this! It's the park near our house in Bathampton. Certainly deserted but maybe not desolate.

taking a break on the climb up Mt. Tallac

Knowledge wasn't on the list of major necessities on this trip. I planned on dropping by Lake Tahoe, waking up and hiking to Lake Aloha one morning. The reality of it was that mid May is not the month to plan a hiking trip in the Desolation Wilderness at Lake Tahoe. Snow is everywhere. I might have made it a mile through the snow and realized there was no trail to follow and I wasn't going to reach any of the lakes I had planned on achieving. The consolation prize was the waterfalls in this wilderness that were created from the heavier snow fall melt off.

I was particularly mesmerized by this waterfall and tryed to capture its beauty as it flowed off of the rocks. By the time I shot it the sun was a bit to intense but I salvaged what I could of the scene and spent some extra time soaking in its beauty with my eyes.

The widest beach I've ever seen...easily hundreds of feet from the bluffs to the water.

We have found the perfect campsite! (seriously.)

We're above Susie Lake, having passed the uncampable Heather Lake, which was surrounded by cliffs of loose rock. Shawn (left) and Scott (right) survey the area.

Sulfur deposits at Yellowstone National Park. It smelled awful, but I got some nice shots.

Mangroves sticking up out of the beach at Tanjung Sepat, Malaysia, offer a quiet calm and desolate feeling when rendered in B&W.

You know why that permit is required? Because there is no trail. I mean its basically introduction to rock climbing. With a 35 pound pack on your back its very scary.

Setting foot into this abandoned home I couldn't help but feel a sense of despair and emptiness.

I feel the title desolate explains this photo in more ways than one.
