Northern Nevada rock imagery.

(Note: The preferred term, at least by the five tribe Bears Ears Inter-Tribal Coalition in the Four Corners region, is now "rock imagery." We no longer call it "art" as we have no idea what was in the mind of the person when they drew the pictograph or petroglyph images. Please be respectful when visiting cultural sites, prehistoric or modern.)

A color landscape photo of a petroglyph and a desert sunset. A large frame filling boulder occupies the left side of the frame. On the boulder are several petroglyphs. The largest one appears to be a creature with four legs and head and a tail shaped somewhat like an arrow. The other smaller glyphs are simple geometric shapes. The right side of the frame is a desert landscape of sagebrush extending out to a far distant range of mountains on the horizon. The thin strip of sky visible is red and orange with late sunset colors.

From the "Things you find in the Desert" files, I bring you this...whatever it might be called?

#Travel #RoadTrip #Art #Desert #BlackAndWhite #Photography #Darktable

A black and white landscape photo of several sun bleached animal skulls (deer, horse, bighorn sheep). The skulls are on the ends of a group of poles that were setup in the shape of a tepee. There's the top of a nearby brush covered mountain in the bottom left background. The sky is particularly dark from processing and the white skulls stand out sharply against the dark sky.

The Gerlach, Nevada, "Red Neck Weather Station." There use to be one on the edge of town, long before the Burners showed up. This much newer weather station is on the unofficially named "Guru Road" along the edge of the Black Rock playa.

A rock hangs on a thin rope from a very weathered tree branch stuck in the ground. The landscape is light tan-brown winter sagebrush. A mountain is nearby in the background. The sky is blue with some wispy clouds. The brown rock slap at the base of the tree branch with the rock reads, "If rock above is moving winds blowing, wet it's raining, white snowing."

Stamp mill ruins at Berlin, Nevada (3/18/2019).

#GhostTown #Desert #Abandoned #Travel #Nevada #BlackAndWhite #Photography #Darktable

A black and white landscape photo of ruins at a ghost town in central Nevada. From the bottom of the frame to the top (front to back) we see a scattered pile of weathered lumber in the foreground. It sits on a hill with a couple of sagebrush plants. A trestle for mining carts to delivery ore to the stamp mill runs from center-right and down the hill to center frame and enters a large wood barn like building. In the distance, the middle ground, is a very large flat valley with a dirt road winding off toward distant snow covered mountains in the background. A thin strip of sky is seen above the mountains. There's a cloud bank just above the mountains.

Berlin, Nevada (3/18/2025).

(It's a 1918 Dodge Brothers truck.)

#Abandoned #GhostTown #Desert #Travel #RoadTrip #Photography #Darktable

A color landscape photo of a large, very weathered, wood building on a nearly barren hillside. The building was a machine shop. The windows and doors are long gone. The front of the building faces toward the left. Outside, n front of the building, is a large rusted machine with two large gears that look like spokes in a wheel. On the right is a very weathered early pickup truck. It has a rusted chassis, hood , and fenders. The cab of the pickup is wood. Like the building behind the truck, its windows and doors are long gone. The sky is clear and very blue in the high elevation.

#Travel #Roadtrip #Desert #BlackAndWhite #Photography #Darktable

A black and white landscape photo of a barren desert hillside feature. The hill is completely barren and appears to be made of a fairly fine grain light colored material. The hill has many eroded valleys and crevasses. The top of the hill, however, is a very dark material adding contrast between the top and the rest of the hill.

Desert railroad station.

(Kelso Depot Visitor's Center, Kelso, California, 10/22/2025.)

#Train #Railway #Desert #California #BlackAndWhite #Photography #Darktable

A black and white landscape photo of a old Spanish style train station in a desert landscape. The station is on the left. The view is looking down along four sets of railroad tracks. Two tracks join in an upside down shape just in front of the photographer. Five tall palm trees, a tree with a very long trunk and a tuft of long wide stiff green leaves at the top, line a fence that is between the station and the tracks on the right.

I love Carnegiea gigantea so much! 😍 🌵 I wish I could hug one...

#Desert #BlackAndWhite #Travel #RoadTrip #Botany #Photography #Darktable

A black and white landscape photo of a desert landscape on the side of a rugged rocky hill. The rugged hillside is covered in woody creosote bush and tall saguaro cactus. Many of the cacti are just single trunks, but a cluster of them in the upper left have multiple arms. The sky is a dark gray due to processing.
