Stark dark clouds coming in over drought affected land between Pinnaroo and Loxton in South Australia. Not a drop fell but it gave the sense of impending rains much needed in that area. The Barb you see is actually the top strand on the original normal stock fence that has been covered over by drifting sands. A new one has been put up behind it.. Quite a scary sight. Just what is happening to our earth??? Nature reclaiming the land? Canon 400D 18-55 lens processed in PS3. HDR originally merged in Photomatix.

This was taken out in the Saudi Arabian Desert, I loved the patterns in the sand, it reminded me of the motion of snakes.
Dry,dusty and arid land with a Western theme. / Strange there is no water in this picture..I always paint water..lol!
Salt flats near Swakopmund photographed from the air. What I find interesting is that as the water recedes the algae metabolise at a different rate that changes their colour. That is why it looks like there is blood on the landscape.
Two soldiers from the 172nd Stryker Brigade Combat Team stand guard in the rear hatches of their stryker vehicle while on patrol north of Mosul, Iraq. Many unfamiliar with the geography of Iraq believe it is entirely arid, but as this picture shows, northern Iraq is quite hilly and in the spring, the fields are a vibrant green because of all the precipitation coming off the northern range.

I wouldn’t mind having a garden like this. / Photographed at the Devils Marbles site, Northern Territory, Australia.
The door way is part of a ghost town in Namibia. It was once where they mined diamonds, but as with nature there was a sand storm and all that was left were the skeletons of buildings. When you visit the place you are escorted by armed guards and all you moves are watched. Apparently there are diamonds in the sand and if you know what you are looking for you could very well be in a lot of trouble…
Lake Mungo Is a miss noma,there hasn’t been water there for thousands of years,but it dry eroded landscape has a magical quality
