A ranch near the coal-powered Fayette Power Project in La Grange, Texas snapped while speeding (you know... goin' the speed limit) down Highway 71. Passenger, NOT the driver..
Machinery used for power generation and mining are displayed in front of the Gas Station in Panamint Springs in Death Valley National Park, California. The sign among the Machinery gives the price of gas the day we drove through. $4.99 per gallon for regular gasoline! That is high even in California. Panamint Springs Resort and its gas station operates completely off grid, which means they have no access to public utilities. All the resort’s electricity is produced by a diesel generator that runs 24 hours per day. The water comes from spring fed Darwin Falls and is piped in 5 miles. I have seen visitor reviews that call the gasoline price at the service station in Panamint Springs the highest in the Continental US. I don’t know if that is true but I can tell you the prices are very high but not bad when you consider the overhead. They generate on site all the power used by the gasoline pumps and the service station. That plus delivery costs to a remote location means that running this gas station is not a cheap endeavor.
I don't know how big flickr will let this be viewed; most of the interesting stuff is out there on the horizon between cloud and desert. But the clouds had to be included and that biggish off-the-grid place down there, I bet that's nice and quiet at night.
From partway up the Tom's Thumb Trail, Scottsdale.
Seeing truly wild animals in their native environment is such a privilege....and its moments like this one that find a permanent place deep inside one's soul.
The internet unravelled. Systems collapsed. Within days, the digital world vanished—no signals, no power, no fuel. Money, wages, pensions: gone. Transport ground to a halt. Yet, in the chaos, people endured. This series captures the resilience of those left to navigate a world stripped bare of technology
A winter sunset in the High Desert, Yucca Valley and Joshua Tree, California border.
Sunsets in the Mojave Desert are some of the most spectacular in the world. Light passes through the atmosphere that contains much less pollution than other locations. Sand in the air also adds to the vibrancy and brilliance of the colors produced in the sky.

Close to the Inverness to Kyle of Lochalsh railway line is this basic home that someone has made.
There are no amenities at this remote spot but the scenery is outstanding.
A walk along the beach....what could be more relaxing? The daily grind put to halt. Fresh air and ocean breezes. Short lived? Sure. But enjoy it while you can!
My annual retreat to Nuevo Vallarta.....to stop the world and enjoy life.

On the way to Eagle Nest, I came across this little house sitting right in the middle of the mountains.
Every time I see houses like this, I start wondering about the people who live there. What would it be like to wake up every morning surrounded by this much forest? No traffic, no city noise, no buildings everywhere you look — just mountains, trees and nature.
Sometimes I really envy a life like this. It feels so peaceful and far away from everything.
But then I also wonder… do they ever miss the things we enjoy in the city? The restaurants, friends nearby, easy access to everything, and all the little things we take for granted?
Maybe this is one of those situations where we always feel the other side has something better.
I would honestly love to know — **would you choose a house like this, deep in the mountains, or would you still prefer the convenience and fun of the city?**
📍 On the way to Eagle Nest, Arunachal Pradesh, India
A foodies paradise! Vendors from all over the city gather and locals relish in the wonderful smells and taste.
Fortunately, we don't have hurricanes but we do have some pretty stormy weather! To date, we haven't lost any electricity or gas but if so I guess a little candle would come in handy!!

On the shore of Lake Superior, at Silver Islet, Ontario, Canada. You cannot be lonely here, for, here, you are alone.
The golden light of the setting sun casts a warm glow over the rugged mountains and flowing dunes, creating a breathtaking contrast between stone and sand. The landscape tells a tale of time, where wind and erosion have sculpted an ever-changing masterpiece of nature’s artistry. A place of solitude, mystery, and boundless beauty.
The wind carrying the crisp scent of the tundra whispered against the canvas as the sun finally dipped below the rugged, rocky horizon of Sylvia Grinnell Territorial Park. Perched like a solitary pearl against a sea of ancient, weathered stone, the yurt offered a sanctuary of warmth in the vast Nunavut wilderness. Inside, the crackle of the small heater and the soft glow of a lantern blurred the line between rugged exploration and pure comfort.
As the midnight sun gave way to deep, ethereal twilight, the sheer scale of the Arctic landscape settled into a profound, breathtaking silence—a moment of absolute stillness where the rest of the world simply faded away.
