Desperation landscape.

I don't know if I'm the only one who'd never been in a desert before, but when I was away in Las Vegas this week my partner and I got to go on a four-hour hike to Red Rock Canyon. It was stunning, and parts of what we saw really prompted me to think of Desperation. Here's a pic to give you a sense of what I mean: DSCF2615.jpg

Thanks for sharing that. I know for some there's too much starkness in desert landscapes but I see beauty in it especially when you have those contrasts of green vegetation against the hardscape. The landscape is part of why I'm drawn to the Southwest. There's also an other-worldness to many parts of it, e.g. this one I took at Canyonlands in Utah.
