A vast field of sunflowers greet the warming morning sunlight on a farm in the northern California Suisun (soo-soon) Valley; it's an area prized for its rich farmland and excellent weather, with many wine-producing vineyards.
Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park is off the beaten path but worth the side trip. This state park is located between Mount Carmel Jct. and Kanab, Utah.
The pink sand is courtest of Navavjo Sandstone from the middle Jurassic geologic period. The same iron oxides and minerals that created the red rock country also contribute to this coral sand color.
If you hit the Coral Pink Sand Dunes at the right time of year, you can see where snow has accumulated and melted to create ponds of water upon the sand.
A solitary tree stands resilient along a sun-drenched desert road in Namibia. The dust in the distance tells of movement—life in a seemingly empty land. This image captures the stark beauty and quiet intensity of Africa’s wild heart.

Glad to reach the old Iron Age fort and set up camp. First job, brew up on my old army mess tins!
Overnight camp out in Chiselbury Camp, an Iron Age hill fort on the top of Fovant Down, famous for it's Great War camp badges carved in the chalk of its slopes. A 40+ mile ride from home in Southampton, up to Salisbury via Romsey and the National Cycle Network Route 24, then to Salisbury Racecourse where I picked up the old cattle drove that goes all the way to Shaftesbury.
Dusk falling meant I overshot my destination in the poor light! I rode another mile or two to Ansty before realising my mistake, and had to backtrack, so by the time I reached the old fort I had missed the sunset there and it was properly dark.
The sunrise made up for that though. Up at 5.30 and a short walk to the chalk cap badges while I brewed up some tea.
Back on the road shortly after, keen to get back before the midday heat.

Just north of the former Highland Park neighborhood underneath the Watterson Expressway. Louisville, KY.
Not exactly what I had in mind when I heard about a waterfall. But, nonetheless, it was worth the bike ride.

A lonely wild flower I found on a hill overlooking a soybean field. It is located (until the next hard freeze) on then Smith Mills-Uniontown Road (gravel road connecting the two Kentucky towns) by itself. A nice surprise on this chilly autumn/fall day. This road is also known as Burbank Road (probably a farming family name). Please [View On White] and/or [View On Black]

The road to White Pocket is not on any maps (that I've seen), but I swear it's a real place. The rock seems to melt off of towering forms, while painted the colors of the rainbow. Simply amazing!
