Vermilion cardinal

On April 28, we visited La Guajira in northern Colombia, where we met this punky vermilion cardinal east of Camarones. It lives only on this peninsula and a few coastal areas in Venezuela. While the females have brown and beige plumage, the males are striking red.

A very red bird with a strong beak and a unicorn-horn-like hairdo sitting on a branch with green fern-like leaves. Very punky.

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."

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.

A black and white closeup photo of a horned lizard's face. The lizard faces toward the left and we see its black left eye. Its mouth is closed and it appears to be looking at the camera lens. It has short horn like structures on the side it its head and neck. It has many different size and shapes of scales on its face and under its mouth. The front legs and feet are seen but they a out of focus while the face is in sharp focus.

#BlackAndWhite #Art #Photography #Darktable

A black and white landscape photo of about twenty different size wheels, sprockets, and gears hung on the side of a horizontal wood slat shed wall. In the center is the largest wheel, about five feet in diameter. The wheels of the round objects are hung around it. They are old motorcycle wheels, a wooden spoked early vehicle wheel, a large pulley, gears, and sprockets.

Old Rusty. I wonder how long it has been since a smiling laughing little kid sat behind Old Rusty's wheel?

A color landscape photo of a small kid's metal petal car toy. The car faces toward the right. The right side is in bright sunshine and the front in shadow. There are no wheels and it sits on its axle. The front of the rusty car it looks like a grimacing face with wide eyes and clinched teeth.

Acid mine drainage (pit lake), Broken Hills, Nevada. Chemicals that leach out of mine tailings result in high concentrations of acids in puddles, ponds, and if containment fails, streams and rivers. This is a tiny--but very poisonous--puddle. I have also seen gigantic pit lakes in Nevada. The old Anaconda Copper Mine in Yerington has a very large pit lake. It is an EPA Superfund site, that like so many others, just sits there.

#Environment #Mining #Desert #Photography #Darktable

A color photo of a puddle in the bottom of a shallow pit. The puddle is bright orange from the concentration of chemicals in the water. There's a wood pallet like object that is at a 45 degree angle on the pit edge in the lower right. The landscape beyond the pit is desert shrub. There's a gently rolling hill a bit above center-right and a mountain range in the distant background.

From my long ignored "The Road Last Traveled" series.

Please travel safely this holiday season.

A black and white landscape photo of a pair of small white crosses. The crosses are stuck in the ground among various small desert shrubs next to an empty highway. The crosses are in the lower left of the frame. The highway cuts in at center right and disappears through a gap in distant hills. The sky is clear.

Head frame at Broken Hills, Nevada.

#Mining #History #BlackAndWhite #Travel #RoadTrip #Abandoned #GhostTown #Photography #Darktable

A black and white landscape photo of old mining equipment. Pictured are a wood "A" frame like structure used to winch loads of ore from a deep mine shaft. The "head frame" is upper center left. At center-right is a small single-room metal shack. From the bottom right to the base of the head frame are a series of parallel metal bars used to keep people and animals out of the mine shaft. They kind of look like road road leading up to the base of the head frame. The sky has a few small white puffy clouds.

Winter.

(Carson Valley area, Nevada.)

#Travel #House #Mountains #BlackAndWhite #Photography #Darktable

A black and white landscape photo of a large two story home. The home is slightly right of center in the frame. A two story garage is to the right of the home. The home and garage are new looking with nice wood work and trim. A large winter bare tree stands to the left of the home. The home sits is a field of sagebrush. Behind the home are tall, rugged, snow covered mountains.
