Black Rock Desert, Nevada
The Black Rock Desert, in northwestern Nevada, is a remote and starkly beautiful landscape. It features a dry lake (playa) that's over 23 miles long...it was part of the California Trail back in the 1800's, and it was a difficult crossing, from one water hole to the next. Today, it's a place to play and explore...and photograph!

Snow on the Playa, Black Rock Desert, 20-February-2021
In this dry land, it's not often that snow falls on the playa, but this was the scene after a night of wild wind and snow. It was a magical, but ephemeral moment, because nearly all of this snow was melted or blown away by the afternoon. It's for scenes like this that I put up with camping in the cold! #HighWildPlaces #BlackRockDesert
