The inclusion of politicians on the list of people prohibited from being on the property of the Nevada Northern Railway Company made me think it was a good place to work.

While photographing this pattern of dried mud, I noticed from a certain vantage point it took on a pattern reminiscent of the bones of a hand.

This is a photo of some burned beams in a building at Furnace Creek in Death Valley. I wasn’t thinking about it when I took the photo, but in going back over the images from the trip on my computer when I got home I was struck by the similarities of this photo to some of those of the eroded landscape I’d taken at the Ubehebe crater earlier the same day. Compare the above to this one for example:

The bottom of it all. In the upper right of the photo, you can see where (fool) hardy people have trekked to the bottom (and presumably back up). A 600 foot elevation change in less than a quarter mile bested any interest I had in seeing what things looked like from the bottom of the crater.

Gaining a foothold for plant growth in the loose cinders at Ubehebe isn’t hard, finding nutrients is something else. Creosote bushes like this one are the largest plants there and they grow only a fraction of the size they do in more fertile ground. Even then many of them seem to hover between life and death.
