Mill D North Fork to Desolation Lake; Big Cottonwood Canyon, Utah; October 2017
I've never been able to figure out the origin of all the desolation names on the ridge between Big Cottonwood and Mill Creek Canyons, but there are a few: Desolation Lake, Desolation Peak, the Desolation Trail. These are from the end of the relatively easy seven mile round trip to Desolation Lake. I liked the how the contrast between the water of the lake, the early season snow, and the trees in these shots turned out.

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 :-)

Shipwreck Beach
Lana'i, HI
03-04-26
With an area of 141 square miles, Lana'i is the 6th largest of the 6 Hawai'ian islands tourists can visit. Lana'i City, the only town, located in the center of the island, doesn't have any stoplights and the overall speed limit is 20mph. (Strictly enforced.) There are only 30 miles of paved road. 3203 people live on Lana'i. There is a Four Seasons Resort located at Manele.
I rented a Jeep Wrangler 4X4 and visited three of the attractions listed on the map, then had an ice cream sundae at the 50's themed "Lana'i Bowl" in Dole Park.
To get to Shipwreck Beach, you have to take a dirt and sandy road all the way to the northeast shore of the island. The beach is named for a shipwreck rusting off the coast. (I'll post a photo of it later.)
This is a shot taken further up one of the paths at 10mm. I always love seeing wind twisted trees.
I foresee that man will resign himself each day to new abominations, and soon that only bandits and soldiers will be left.

One of my first images taken when arriving in Iceland earlier this year. The desolation of the farmhouses (many of which are abandoned) underscores the harsh nature of the working on the land. I hope this image captures that feeling.

It can be easy to feel alone in life. Sometimes we feel so battered its hard to even imagine anyone there. We have all walked through the desert season before in our lives. It is hard, painful, and very exhausting. It may feel like we have explored every corner of the pit we find ourselves in except the escape rope. The hardest thing about these seasons is that we are believing deceptive lies that are keeping trapped in a prison cell too weak to walk out the open door. In each time we walk through this season, there is hope at the end my dear Christian. There is a Light that will not fade and a fire that will not burn out. As I look back at such a desolate place as this, there was a glimmer of hope and one that would not disappoint. To those of you who are in that season right now, take courage as the Lord is reaching His hand out to you to rescue you! To those of you who may not understand what rescue I am talking about, I am talking about the eternal rescue of our soul. Only Jesus can save you and it is my plea and my prayer that you would cry out to Him and be set free! With much love and compassion, your brother in Christ - Isaac
Not many people about these parts on this morning, saw 1 guy in the distance, but the further away from the beaten track I got that was the last person I saw till dropping back down again, from the last location this was a complete nightmare to get out to but with just taking my time and testing for loose rock and deep now in each step ahead I got here in the end, better to be slow than to get stuck somewhere..
The snow on the Limestone Pavement seems to accentuate it's shape even more than normal, the addition of the tree that could be straight out of Lord of The Rings made for a great foreground against the backdrop of snow covered Ingleborough and the attractive sky which had kindly appeared while I was rock hopping my way here.
