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.

#Travel #Roadtrip #Desert #Photography #Darktable

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.

A color portrait photo of a weathered wooden wagon wheel. The hub of the wheel is on the right and the wagon is behind on the left. The is in very good shape, but the wood is weathered to a beautiful light gray. A rusty iron tire protect the outside of the wheel. The hub is held together with two rusty iron bands. The wagon behind the wheel is mostly hidden. The wheel fills the frame. But the wagon wood is the same gray as the wood of the wheel. The wheel sits of short dry grass.

#Travel #RoadTrip #Train #Railway #BlackAndWhite #Photography #Darktable

A black and white portrait photo of a large stream engine crossing a tall railroad trestle. The back ground is a deep ravine of forest covered slopes. The train is about to complete its crossing of the trestle. It is head toward the bottom right of the frame. It has two small headlights that are tuned on. Steam comes out from the lower right side of the train. Black smoke pours out over the top to the train. A young girl is in the bottom left taking a photo of the train as it exits the trestle.

The Union Pacific Big Boy, an articulated 4-8-8-4 steam locomotive manufactured by the American Locomotive Company in 1941. Here, the Big Boy had just crossed the East Branch North Fork Feather River and was parked waiting for a VIP passenger (7/11/2025). I really couldn't have been in a better spot. I thought it was just going to roll by at that location. When it stopped, I thought, "For me?" Lol!

#Train #RoadTrip #Travel #Railway #Photography #Darktable

A color landscape photo of a very large steam engine. The engine is stationary just as it cleared a bridge. The rest of the train is still on the bridge. Another bridge can be seen crossing under the upper bridge where the tr5ain is on the left. The train points toward the right. Whisps of black smoke come from the front smoke stack. It has a small US flag on the right front and a California flag on the left front. A forest is seen in the background.

A black and white landscape photo of a very large black steam engine in a desert landscape. The engine is heading toward the right side of the frame. It is very long, with two sets of drive wheels. The tender car is behind the engine and a small section of a passenger car can be seen behind the tender. Sagebrush is in the foreground, and dimly, through the haze, a mountain range is seen in the distance. A round, railroad crossing sign is seen just ahead of the engine on the right. It is filled with bullet holes.

A black and white landscape photo of a very large radio telescope dish. The dish sits on a single pedestal. It points up and toward the right. Sagebrush is in the foreground and a large mountain in the background. Big clouds in the sky frame the outline of the telescope's four pyramidal feed support legs. The cloudless part of the sky is very dark as if a red filter had been used.

#Travel #RoadTrip #Ghosts #Art #BlackAndWhite #Photography #Darktable

A square black and white photo of a sculpture at night. The sculpture appears as a person in a long white flowing cloak. Think classical monk with the a long hood that covers the face. The ghostly figure is holding on to a bicycle as if it were going to mount the bike and ride off. The sculpture is fairly well lit but the bike is shadowy. Otherwise, the rest of the frame is black.

Außerhalb städtischer Gemarkung werden die Straßen holprig und schmal. Sonne an blassem Himmel täuscht nicht über den Frost hinweg, der sich seinen Weg durch die Kleidung nach innen bahnt. Seele im Wald, Wald in der Seele, Schlamm unter den Füßen und irgendwann schließt sich der Kreis.

Laubbedeckter Weg durch einen lichten Wald.

#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.

Is sign Saturday a thing?

#Travel #RoadTrip #Sign #BlackAndWhite #Photography #Darktable

A black and white landscape photo that is a view looking up toward a barbwire fence at the top of a hill. A bit of long grass is seen in the lower right. Then the fence and a clear blue sky in the background. A very old sign is on the opposite side of the fence on the right. It is a wood rectangle about three feet long by one foot wide. It is mostly gray from weathering but there is evidence of white paint. In very faded black lettering it says, "Hogland, General Store, Est 1920."

#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.

The Grand Canyon & the Kolb Studio, which was begun in 1906 by photographers Emery & Ellsworth Kolb. The Kolb's were hardcore canyoneers. They carried their early--big & heavy--photographic equipment all over the Canyon. Sadly, the building is now a gift shop & the Kolb brother's history has been relegated to a tiny closet featuring a couple of their photos & a short video about their lives.

#Canyon #Desert #History #NationalPark #Travel #RoadTrip #BlackAndWhite #Photography #Darktable

A black and white landscape photo of the Grand Canyon. The view shows the Grand Canyon at center left under a dark gray sky achieved through digital processing as though a red filter had been used. The canyon is wide, deep, and very rugged. A small part of the Bright Angel Trail is seen in the lower left. On the right is a multistory building perched on the edge of the canyon. It has dark gray walls and white trim. It probably has five or maybe six levels. Trees surround the building and cut across in the foreground of the photo from the lower left to upper right.

##Desert #Canyon #Travel #RoadTrip #Trees #Botany #Photography #Darktable

A color landscape photo of a cliff in the Grand Canyon. A finger of rock protrudes out from the left to center frame. It cliff it forms shows many horizontal layers in the rock. On the flat top of the finger of rock are two small round trees. They are brightly lit in sunlight. In the background shadow is a much larger cliff face but there is a switchback trail coming in from the left and descending down into the canyon.

A Yucca brevifolia (Joshua tree) near the Wee Thump Joshua Tree Wilderness south of Las Vegas. Here's a funny story: When German immigrants settled in the Mojave desert near the San Andreas fault at the base of the Sierra Pelona Mountains they called their settlement "Palmdale." They had heard that there were palm trees in SoCal. Having never seen a palm tree they mistook the Joshua trees for palm trees hence the town's name.

A color portrait photo of a odd looking tree in a desert landscape. The tree is around 12-14 feet tall. From a short central trunk there's many thick twisted branches shooting off in many directions. At the end of each branch is a green tuff of long sharp spike like leaves. The sky is blue and clear.

Such an idea! Rather than cancelling commercial flights, the FAA could cut private jet flights. Or close private airports. This would ease the burden on air traffic controllers much more than the 10% cuts we’re currently seeing.
