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 :-)

Landmannalaugar is in the Fjallabak Nature Reserve in the Highlands of Iceland. It is at the edge of Laugahraun lava field, which was formed in an eruption around the year 1477. It is well known for its natural geothermal hot springs and surrounding landscape.

Iceland. September 2015.
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 Ć, 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.

Sun was breaking through the clouds and placed a strip of light on top of the hill. A fleeting moment for sure.
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!

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.
Not the busy bustling hive of activity it was during its heyday, this is Dunaskin, Ayrshire where all that remains are the corroding derelict remains of some of Scotlands greatest industrial heritage.
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.
I've been here in the summer... now in winter, it always gives the is impression of a desolated landscape. The Cairngorms, in Scotland.
Sometimes in far off lands, as far away as you can see, desolate places shrouded in mystery reveal themselves. And somehow, even in desolation I find allure, and beauty.
Ratner Beach
Malibu, CA

I don't know the history of this area, and haven't been able to find anything online. On the beach below the Getty Villa in Malibu are the remains of pilings and concrete of what I believe was the site of a restaurant at one time.
It's a neat place to photograph, and I got a lot of interesting shots on Labor Day. This was taken at about 7:30 in the morning, shooting toward the sunrise to the southeast. The HDR has been highly stylized using Aurora HDR on top of Photomatix Pro.
