About This Blog
The purpose of this blog is partly a showcase for my skills, part experiment, and partly a way for me to get out and take more pictures. My original goal was to post 1 picture per day for (at least) 365 days. I accomplished this for 2 years and 3 months. I then decided that I was doing it to do it, rather than better my craft. I no feel obliged to post daily, but I often do. I hope you enjoy my creations and please leave commentsBlurb.com Advertisement

This scene is lonely. I am reveling in the lonliness of it. I especailly love the road winding away, showing the one long way to get to anywhere else. Obviously someone worked here, evidenced by the fences and buildings. But also obvious is the encroaching nature in their absence, evidenced by the sage brush. These buildings once held life and now they don’t, they keep each other company and I would hate to see them in color or with little wildflowers all over, because they don’t need cheering up, they have their pride and they will wait.
