Study of a box…Bristol Mountains…

Prison block? Pump house? Bristol Mountains. March, 2017.

Sunset in the El Paso Mountains…

I took this photograph in May, 2017. El Paso Mountains, looking westward.

Mojave Desert…

Filmed using my DJI Phantom 4, as it was flying over the El Paso Mountains. Yes, you can see the rotor blades spinning in the corners, but I think that video is actually enhanced by this.

An alien world…

…is what I think of at times, when I’m in the desert. Perhaps this is just the perspective of someone who grew up on the east coast.

But, the barren landscape of the desert is a big part of its allure, to me. Some of the images that I’ve captured with my DJI Phantom 4 (https://www.dji.com/phantom-4) add to the alien world-like feel to the desert, such as the image below:

Mule Canyon Sunset…

Mule Canyon, Calico Mountains.

The Cajon Pass, At Sunset…

Many people traverse the 15 freeway, on their way to and from the high desert, or to Las Vegas. I wonder if they ever give a thought to the world that lies beyond the concrete ribbon that runs through the desert.

I use my DJI Phantom 4 (https://www.dji.com/phantom-4) and my Jeep to explore that world.
The image below was taken in November, 2017, near Hwy 138. Railroad tracks, used by freight trains, can be seen in the background. Vehicles can be seen on the 15 freeway in the distance.
