Ces photos sont d'une beauté à couper le souffle... lequel souffle doit être sérieusement épprouvé à la traversée d'un tel lieu !<br />Comme mes "collègues", j'apprécie particulièrement la photo "One way" ! A se demander si ce n'est pas une plaisanterie de celui qui l'a posé là ! ! ! Mais je crois bien que non ! Un panneau fort utile serait d'annoncer à l'approche de "La Vallée de la mort", "Pensez à emporter une bonne quantité de tisane ! Il n'y aura pas de points de ravitaillement tout au long de la traversée" ! Ils auraient pû y penser quand même ! Je trouve ça aberrant !<br />Tes photos en B/W font tout de même froid dans le dos et ailleurs... d'où le fait d'avoir donné un tel nom à un tel lieu !<br /><br />Ciao pixelpote ! Prend soin de toi ! Take care ! Mais tu es vraiment pénible de m'obliger à déchiffrer ton texte englais !...:-)))<br />A +...!jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14706496619691322297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8855510751016957422.post-11706988472810074642009-09-05T09:39:15.348+02:002009-09-05T09:39:15.348+02:00That last photo almost looks like an iceberg!

In the meanwhile, hope you are painting up a storm that will cause some rain to fall in these dry parts !<br /><br />Techno, the mystique is all natural there, these photos only give the slightest hint of it... do go if you get the chance<br /><br />Magnolia Amber, I do believe you have pulled a pun on us ! I'm chuckling... hill-arious... looks like some folks had been digging for gold in them thar hills...<br /><br />Hi Sharon, very surreal indeed. Admittedly I took the photo from the edge of a road, but the sign was sort of far off even so, very bizarre.<br /><br />Jessie, thank you ! As for work, I'm surviving, barely... :-D<br /><br />Chère Nathalie ! Si ce n'était pas un vautour qui aurait tourné le panneau, c'était peut être le cousin géant de ton praying mantis d'hier... cours vite s'il est toujours sur ta table !!!<br /><br />Bill, cool, I'll bet with tissue paper and some papier maché one could make a good replica of Death Valley landscapes...<br /><br />Adam, I don't know about where you are, but here in the Oise we sure needed the rain ! That's why I did this post, to invoke the rain gods to come quickly... and they did !<br /><br />Hey Lydida, wow, no one's compared me to Ansel anytime recently... he's another one of my heroes... so thank you from way down deep. And now that you mention it, yeah, I do see the face, although it took me a while to spot it, I was looking for something bigger... but it is very visible now that you've pointed it out. Almost a punk hairdo... no ?<br /><br />Anya, hi there ! Thanks ! Very peaceful indeed...<br /><br />Hey Arnaud, it would be a great pleasure to have your company on a trip like this... maybe someday the gods of travel and blogs and photos will conspire to bring us together... if it can be imagined, it can be accomplished, eh ?Owenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12622587942009516590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8855510751016957422.post-11286126806609575572009-09-05T05:30:49.440+02:002009-09-05T05:30:49.440+02:00Oh you good people are too kind to this lonesome t...Oh you good people are too kind to this lonesome traveller... <br /><br />Thank you Robert for reminding me of that beautiful tune, been through the desert on a horse with no name...

I hope all is going ok with your new surroundings, that your knee is behaving itself and the driving not too strenuous. Just posted some cemetery photos with you very much in mind...<br /><br />Oh Roxana, what I wouldn't give to do photos full time, and a large format loaded with b&w would be part of my toolkit for sure, and freedom to travel, to places like Romania to meet the odd wonderful bloggers from around the blogosphere...<br /><br />Hey Steve, funny, when I stare at these photos long enough I can almost see the heat waves shimmering again like they did when I was there... one of the hottest places on Earth...Owenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12622587942009516590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8855510751016957422.post-41864899110176528242009-09-05T01:49:24.686+02:002009-09-05T01:49:24.686+02:00Been through a desert on a horse with no name and ...Been through a desert on a horse with no name and still would return yesterday if possible.<br /><br />Wishing you an 'oasis of weekend'.roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05457724318596670810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8855510751016957422.post-5817844234636947062009-09-05T00:24:02.933+02:002009-09-05T00:24:02.933+02:00Beautiful, waouh!!!!
