Sunset on the Ord River. This was at the end of our cruise down the Ord River in Western Australia. The wake from the boat make for a stunning effect.

Former Fort Ord building, Monterey County, Ca.
Took a little trip to the former Fort Ord today. This place is immense, and at its peak had as many as 50,000 soldiers stationed there. Though many buildings have been demolished, there are still hundreds of buildings and structures left, with most being allowed to rot. Since the base was closed in 1994, much of the land has been repurposed. The biggest change is probably the establishment of the California State University Monterey Bay.
To see all of the decaying facilities is to get just a bit of a hint of the immense amount of blood and treasure our country has wasted in pursuits of warfare. It should be visited by more people. (No trespassing signs everywhere make it difficult.) And, as immense as this place is, it is only a microcosm of all the waste involved in human bellicosity.
Another shot from Saturday's trip to Skye; while heading for the planned sunset location we stopped at Ord for a few minutes taking in the lovely light on Blaven and the Cuillin Ridge and I grabbed a couple of handheld shots.
