All of these pictures were taken while driving. The constantly changing light brings subtle color changes to the desert. I could watch the light change all day.
I awoke before dawn and captured the golden light on the train just outside of Needles, CA, and close to the Colorado River.
Two out-buildings intrude on the vast Mojave and remind me of a scant, but noticeable human presence.
Freight train, freight train
Going so fast
Freight train, freight train
Going so fast
Please don’t tell them which train I’m on
So they won’t know which route I’ve gone
I heard you say, “I awoke before dawn…”–no wonder you heard loud snores! It is definitely not because of your photographs; they are electrifying. I love the wide format, it enhances the silence and spaciousness
of the desert.
Did I ever tell you that your blog is really great – ?
