Reaching these dunes can require some serious four-wheeling. There were patches of sand verbena visible in spring 2016. All the more reason to make the effort if we get profuse wildflowers in this area of Death Valley National Park this year. We may visit here in our annual spring Death Valley backcountry trip in mid to late March, 2026.
Early May 2020: the authorities strongly suggested that those who could work from home, should do so.
My wife was an "early adopter" and was quick to establish a "home office."
Due to my line of work, I could unfortunately not "harvest the benefits" of that, but worked weird shifts and long hours in order to be able to be home too, to the extent possible.
Now, almost three years later, "hybrid working" is a well working concept at many workplaces so she's at the home office a couple of days a week.
For me, remote work is not possible, so I've figured out my own "hybrid" work model: as little as possible and strategically planning hard to get fired.
Unfortunately, my bosses are not exactly keen on the latter.

Model of town made from glass bottle fragments.
Rhyolite is a ghost town in Nye County, in the U.S. state of Nevada. It is in the Bullfrog Hills, about 120 miles (190 km) northwest of Las Vegas, near the eastern edge of Death Valley. The town began in early 1905 as one of several mining camps that sprang up after a prospecting discovery in the surrounding hills. During an ensuing gold rush, thousands of gold-seekers, developers, miners and service providers flocked to the Bullfrog Mining District. Many settled in Rhyolite, which lay in a sheltered desert basin near the region's biggest producer, the Montgomery Shoshone Mine.
Industrialist Charles M. Schwab bought the Montgomery Shoshone Mine in 1906 and invested heavily in infrastructure, including piped water, electric lines and railroad transportation, that served the town as well as the mine. By 1907, Rhyolite had electric lights, water mains, telephones, newspapers, a hospital, a school, an opera house, and a stock exchange. Published estimates of the town's peak population vary widely, but scholarly sources generally place it in a range between 3,500 and 5,000 in 1907–08.
Rhyolite declined almost as rapidly as it rose. After the richest ore was exhausted, production fell. The 1906 San Francisco earthquake and the financial panic of 1907 made it more difficult to raise development capital. In 1908, investors in the Montgomery Shoshone Mine, concerned that it was overvalued, ordered an independent study. When the study's findings proved unfavorable, the company's stock value crashed, further restricting funding. By the end of 1910, the mine was operating at a loss, and it closed in 1911. By this time, many out-of-work miners had moved elsewhere, and Rhyolite's population dropped well below 1,000. By 1920, it was close to zero.
After 1920, Rhyolite and its ruins became a tourist attraction and a setting for motion pictures. Most of its buildings crumbled, were salvaged for building materials, or were moved to nearby Beatty or other towns, although the railway depot and a house made chiefly of empty bottles were repaired and preserved.
The town is named for rhyolite, an igneous rock composed of light-colored silicates, usually buff to pink and occasionally light gray. It belongs to the same rock class, felsic, as granite but is much less common

This is my 28th upload from our weekend trip to Paris end of october 2008.

Happy holidays everybody !!!
I have been learning a ton about post-processing in the last few months, and wanted to see what I could do with this image. I think it is greatly improved. This was an amazing trip with my brother-in-law, Jared Warren, to the Doll House, a very remote and little visited corner of Canyonlands National Park. Let me know what you think!
These more than 10,000 identification tags (dog tags) represent those service members from North Carolina who have died far from home in their efforts to protect human rights and freedoms.
I missed the most fabulous sunset last night, I have made a decision that I should to just pop out and see what transpires.
So, I did just that tonight, the tide was on its way out, so I kept moving further and further along the now slippery seaweed and mud trail toward the sea.
Just managed to capture the best of the sunset and some movement with the water..
Had to use timer as my remote release hasn’t arrived yet.

Like many families right now, we're doing 'remote learning', and today one of Frost Juniors school tasks was to "Make a Star Wars movie set" out of LEGO.
This is his photo. His idea was to make a cool photo showing his two favourite figures battling above lava. We set it up on our kitchen table using only basic household items.
Along the way, we talked about concepts such as framing, and lighting. What to put in the shot, and what to leave out. Where the focus of the shot should be, and how to best achieve it. About how we could separate Kylo from the background using effective lighting, and how those lighting effects could be achieved. And just generally had fun playing together.
How was your day? Are you remote learning too? Hows it going in your house?

Remote research station LL928 stationed in the Centarus region supports deep space scientific research. The station is staffed by a compliment of 14 spacemen and includes barracks, science lab, and a communication and control bridge.
-
Unfortunately the Outpost only sleeps 5 men so the Spacemen work in 3 shifts and "hot bunk". Often 2-4 team members are on local away expeditions making life a little easier for those staying at the station base.
-
The staff is comprised of:
-
1 station commanding officer, CO
1 chief engineering officer, XO
1 chief science and operations officer, COO
1 medical officer
1 system engineer
1 mechanical engineer
1 security officer
7 science officers (various specialties)

As soon as Dad moves Mum - I will grab the remote for you! Then maybe we won't have to watch football any more.
Who needs broadband when you can stand here and wait for a call. On the road to Ockle with the islands of Eigg and Rhum just off the coast.

That's the first word that comes to mind when describing the view from the South Rim. It makes me feel as if I'm overlooking an area that has been seen but not explored by man. I think there's one trail (unseen here) that passes through, but it's not for day hikers such as myself.
The region is described as the "South Rim", which I actually haven't reached yet. This scene is from the southwest portion of the trail, looking west. The ridges faintly seen in the distance are in Mexico, with the Rio Grande flowing from right to left just in front of them.

Another one from that project, i shot in on Ektar 100 but i had no lighmeter with me so freeballed it, and it was kinda underexposed and ugly, so black and white it is

When crossing Ballachulish Bridge this is the view that greets you looking to the west.
However, doing so, risks an irresponsible accident.
So, of course, I took this shot, having stopped, a mere hundred yards from the bridge.
The mountains of Ardgour, and further south, (left), Kingairloch, are notably grey, rocky, bare and stark, but they make a shapely backcloth to the marshy shoreline and the vivid blue waters of Loch Linnhe.
Amazingly, at this point, Linnhe is almost seven miles across,
and the mountains more than ten miles away.
Part of the village of Onich is on the right,
with Glen Gour, beyond.
Garbh Bheinn (885m.) is the peak on the left, all part of an impressive and colourful scene.
