This image was captured on an early morning walk on McCoy Flat Reservoir in rural Lassen County, California, USA. It was 11 degrees Fahrenheit on this chilly March morning with the dew point just a couple degrees above ambient temperature. This resulted in a nice coating of hoar frost on the myriad pieces of driftwood that litter the landscape along the northern shore of the “lake” (which is basically a large meadow that is flooded for much of the year but generally dry by the end of summer until the spring thaw). The wispy fog creeping around the area and wonderful pastel tones in the sky created a scene I felt truly blessed to see and photograph.
Human subtlety...will never devise an invention more beautiful, more simple or more direct than does nature, because in her inventions nothing is lacking, and nothing is superfluous. ~ Leonardo Da Vinci
Sunset in Monument Valley - September 2011...was hoping for a bit of drama in the sky, but no such luck....when you're on a schedule, you have to take what you can get :-)
First day back to work wasn't too bad, but I've decided it would be so much better to be independently wealthy and not have to work...LOL!!!!! Have a great Tuesday, and as always, thanks for stopping by to visit :-)

The rugged desolation of the northern Atacama Desert is on full display at Kilometer-64 of the Southern Peru Copper; it's stark emptiness briefly interrupted by copper ore empties on their return journey to Cuajone Mine. The track geometry of the SPCC main line is an impressive feat of engineering, rising in elevation almost 13,000 ft in just 140 miles.

The southbound Trona Railway passes one of the few roads it encounters on the journey from the mines to the UP interchange at Searles.
The remains of what was once a hunting and whaling cabin on Danmark Ø, strategically overlooking the mouth of Fonfjord and the distant Volquaart von Kyst moutains on the Gaseland penninsula where it meets Scoresby Sund, East Greenland. Until recently people from the Thule culture lived on the island and remains of their rock and turf winter houses can be seen near the old cabin.

Taken in a desolate , old, shedding house in the old Portuguese colonial town of Goa, a part of Panjim the local city Center in the olden Portuguese era, a lot of these old building lie empty with no one to care for . Saw an opportunity for an amazing click , grabbed it.
Yes, I got your letter yesterday,
about the time the doorknob broke.
You asked me how I was doing,
is that some kind of joke?
All these people that you mention, yes I know them,
they're quite lame,
I had to re-arrange their faces and I gave 'em all
another name.
Right now I don't feel too good,
don't send me no more letters,
no, not unless you mail them from Desolation Row

The Western United States has to be one of the most desolate places that I have ever been to. It is hard to imagine how much of anything could survive here or what would want to attempt to survive here, yet there is actually a whole ecosystem that thrives here. There are Bison, Deer, Prairie Dogs, Birds, Snakes, and many desert flowers and the bees that pollinate them. Even in the most desolate of places, God put life. This should be an encouragement to us that even the most desolate of hearts can be filled with life and the darkest of souls can be filled with His Light that will drive out that darkness! Nothing is impossible for Him!
This was the scene of Dungeness A & B nuclear power stations one autumn evening on the Dungeness headland in Kent, England. Both of these power stations are now decommissioned.
With this shot I wanted to show the rugged and barren Dungeness landscape with its imposing yet also fitting power station, reaching out to spread its energy to the less desolate world beyond.
The low lighthouse at Burnham on Sea in somerset, taken with the drone to show how desolate this beach is at low tide.
AZER has exited the town of Clifton, Arizona and heads to the small yard off of Black Hill with B40-8 4003 in the lead.
I've been here in the summer... now in winter, it always gives the is impression of a desolated landscape. The Cairngorms, in Scotland.
