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.
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.
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.

Half Moon Lake, though lacking swimmin' access on the side we hiked to, was enlivened by a sassy duck family.

Mangroves sticking up out of the beach at Tanjung Sepat, Malaysia, offer a quiet calm and desolate feeling when rendered in B&W.
Very little grows here - note all of the steam releasing from fissures in the earth. There is a sulphuric smell in the air.
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.
They will rebuild the ancient ruins
and restore the places long devastated;
they will renew the ruined cities
that have been devastated for generations
rain melting the last snow of spring beside the highway. this shot reminds me of Bruce Springsteen's Nebraska album, partly because it looks like the cover art, but mostly because it evokes the same feeling of desolation. I find it interesting how desolation sometimes makes us realize who we are and what we need.
For you glam rock fans, it's near Desolation Boulevard. Actually I shot this for the latest Utata Weekend Project, "Depopulated Landscapes". I figured only a fool would be up at the crack of dawn on a Sunday and I was right.
