I love Yucca brevifolia (joshua tree)! I really need to spend some time in a Yucca brevifolia area during a full Moon for some photography. Maybe in a couple of months?

Another day, another dune. I really loved how the light and dark areas alternate and thought about making it in black and white right away.

This is not the best angle to photograph this rock, but I liked the Moon rising above the Granite Range near Gerlach, Nevada. This glob of basalt squeezed up through a small fissure on the southern end of the Modoc Plateau ~25million/yrs ago. Then during the Pleistocene, Lake Lahontan filled the Smoke Creek Desert & underwater springs coated this rock with calcite (CaCO3) forming tufa. Today, the tufa has partially sloughed off.

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

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.)

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.

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.
From my long ignored "The Road Last Traveled" series.
Please travel safely this holiday season.
