Deserts and Beyond

Deserts and beyond...places in and around the southern California deserts and beyond. Photo taken at Canyon Lake, in the Superstition Mountains of Arizona, December 2011. A few minutes later, after the sun disappeared, these cliffs were their normal color. They were only golden for a short time and I'm glad we were able to view them in their glory.

Airplane and sunset

I was out, alone, in the middle of Thousand Palms canyon last weekend when I heard a jet overhead.  It was on its way to the Palm Springs International airport.  If you click on the pic to enlarge it, you can actually SEE the airplane!  It was so desolate out there, I really didn't enjoy this intrusion!

I hear, but don't generally see, the military flyovers here. Very disruptive.

So glad there's a Huge no flight zone over the canyon.

We get some wild sounds out at 29 Palms from the Marine Base... mainly the big thuds of artillery practice, but occasionally big military helicopters. Doesn't bother me too much, just kind of goes with the territory.
