Unnamed basin in the Virginia Range above my house, east of Washoe Valley. It actually has interior drainage and in wet winters accumulates a shallow lake--which doesn't persist over the summer! Looking north; that's Reno, Nevada, in the distant basin on the right; the high-rise is the Grand Sierra Hotel, by the airport. The mountain on the skyline to the left is Peavine Peak (8266 ft/2519 m). Local lore has it that you don't try to plant a garden until the snow is all melted off Peavine--typically mid-May or so.

In the eponymous state park in the eponymous town, Utah. The buildings are in the town--it's a small settlement right on I-70. Altho there is still a bit of irrigation agriculture in the area, the economy now mostly depends on the freeway. Looking upstream; the inset shows the downstream view, with the railroad bridge in the distance.

Our first line-up of the Mini-Muster, held to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the release of the Renault 4CV (most of them) and the 60th anniversary of the Renault Dauphine (at left).

Old house out in the country - like me, it's seen better days. :-) A dip of my hat to Dave L for inspiration. Try it on black, maybe while listening to this musical link. Explored.

Reclaimed site of Uravan, Colorado, where uranium-vanadium ores were processed up until the mid 1980s. Dunno if Umetco Minerals is doing reclamation, environmental monitoring, or what.

These are two of the Glasshouse Mountains north of Brisbane, Mount Coonowrin and Mount Beerwah, photographed from the summit of Mount Ngunngun. The glasshouse Mountains were so named by Captain Cook and are old volcanic plugs. We had hiked Mount Ngunngun, another of these mountains when this photo was taken by my wife. She knows, I think, the rule of thirds and knows that it is not always effective to center one's subject, but in this case broke both rules successfully, or so I thought.
