5⭐ Kelso Dunes, Mojave Desert CA
trailspotting.com/2025/05/kels
The Kelso Dunes tower impressively in the eastern Mojave Desert, forming the second-tallest dune system in California. There are no half measures on this hike - be sure to climb all the way to the top!

A vast desert landscape stretches across the scene, characterized by golden sand dunes that dominate the foreground and recede into the distance. The dunes display a variety of textures and shapes—some smooth, others adorned with distinct ridges and patterns formed by wind. A single person is present near the center of the image, walking uphill on one of the larger dunes. They wear a bright red shirt and a white hat, making them stand out against the muted tones of the sand. Their footprints trail behind them, carving a temporary path in the shifting sands. In the background, rugged mountains rise sharply, their darker tones contrasting against the warm hues of the desert. Above, the sky is mostly clear, with only a few scattered clouds adding dimension to the vast expanse.

Im Joshua-Tree-Nationalpark treffen zwei unterschiedliche Wüstenökosysteme aufeinander: die Mojave und der Colorado. Eine faszinierende Vielfalt an Pflanzen und Tieren ist in diesem von starken Winden und gelegentlichen Regenfällen geprägten Land zu Hause. Der dunkle Nachthimmel, die reiche Kulturgeschichte und die surrealen geologischen Gegebenheiten machen den Reiz dieser riesigen Wildnis im Süden Kaliforniens aus. – https://www.nps.gov/jotr/index.htm

The Day the Earth Stood Still

I don't know if you have ever seen a UFO? Unfortunately, this is about as close as I've gotten recently. No abduction or alien probe, thankfully! This is a night photo with light painting on a cold winter evening in the Arizona desert. These structures which look like enormous stone caterpillars or upside-down swimming pools were built for the manufacture of computers but never completed. Now, some speak of ritualistic witchcraft and Satanic worship. Regardless, the domes at Casa Grande were torn down in January 2023. I illuminated the interior and exterior with a handheld ProtoMachines LED2 during this long exposure image. This was part of a three-night trip with night photographer Mike Cooper, exploring the remote corners of the desert.

Mysterious Lockheed Lodestar on some forbidden nocturnal grassland in Kansas. To create this night photo, I set the camera on a tripod. I opened the camera shutter for a long time. While the shutter was open, I used a handheld flashlight capable of producing different colors, illuminating the scene with warm white and red light. During the exposure, all the light I shined on the subject was cumulative. This process is called "light painting". Why? Because one uses the flashlight as a paint brush, "brushing" on light, not paint. Light painting to illuminate subjects is a beautiful, addictive art, as you can walk around the scene, deciding what to bring to light and what to keep in shadow. And it's more fun than AI-generated images.

The Gold Eye and the Heavens Above

Have you ever been somewhere outdoors so quiet and remote that you are keenly aware of that barely perceptible "hum" and are conscious of how well you can hear your breathing? Silence is louder and the stars shine brighter. This is Ojo Oro Arch, a hidden gem located in a secret corner of the Mojave Desert, not a strange new world from "Star Trek" but almost as far. Bodhi Smith, Chip Morton and I hiked several miles and hung out during this night photography trip. When I finally settled down to sleep under the stars around 3:30 am, I was cocooned by a canopy of stars and the Milky Way arching directly overhead. Every several minutes, I saw shooting stars streaking through the night sky. Much thanks to Bodhi for inviting me on this fantastic trip. While the shutter was open, I walked around with a handheld ProtoMachines LED2 light capable of producing different colors, and illuminated the rocky arch with warm white light. During the exposure, all the light I shined on the subject was cumulative. This process is called "light painting." Why? Because one uses the flashlight as a paint brush, "brushing" on light, not paint. Light painting to illuminate subjects is a beautiful, addictive art, as you can walk around the scene, deciding what to bring to light and what to keep in shadow. And it's more fun than AI-generated images. Thank you very much for looking!

I have an old #mac mini in the office, and would like set up a persistent reverse tunnel so I can always SSH in from home.

Running the ssh command manually isn't a problem, but how do I turn this into a persistent service on #macos so it restarts when the connection drops for whatever reason? Anything in #homebrew ? (The Mac in question is on #mojave 14.7 IIRC, if that helps.)

Old Woman Mountains lie between the I-40 and CA-62. The Old Woman comes from the rock outcropping in the last image. I took Sunflower Springs Rd to Cadiz road leaving from Essex, CA heading south. You'll need a decent 4x4 with clearance plus some experience, tools, supplies for a safe journey.

There are many wild, rugged, and seldom-visited mountain ranges in the #Mojave Desert, making it a prime area for exploratory missions. Here's a small collection of photos from a memorable 3-week trip in March 2019. See the whole trip report here: www.mountainphotography.com/gallery/moja...

Some photos from the #Mojave and #Sonoran deserts a couple Februaries ago. My wife caught Valley Fever out there and was laid out for 3 months afterwards with flesh-eating fungus in her lungs. We watched "The Last of Us" while she recovered. 😵 More pics: www.mountainphotography.com/gallery/febr...

この記事は、米国、特にカリフォルニア州とアリゾナ州のモハーヴェ砂漠地域で貨物列車からの貨物窃盗が深刻な問題になっていることを論じています。泥棒たちは、ナイキのスニーカーなどの高価な貨物を狙っており、数百万ドルの損失が発生している。記事では、犯人が列車の空気ブレーキホースを切断して、1,900足以上の未発売のナイキを盗んだ事件など、いくつかの事件を取り上げている。当局はこれらの窃盗事件で逮捕者を行っているが、鉄道網の広大さと窃盗団の組織化された性質のために、問題は依然として根絶されていない。記事では、列車、トラック、船からの貨物窃盗は毎年数十億ドルの損失が発生しており、主要な輸送拠点が頻繁に狙われていることも述べている。 #Mojave

##**モハーヴェ砂漠で相次ぐナイキの靴を狙った列車強盗**
アメリカ・カリフォルニア州とアリゾナ州で、貨物列車を狙った強盗事件が相次いでいる。昨年3月以降、BNSF(バーリントン・ノーザン・サンタフェ鉄道)の列車が少なくとも10回襲われ、そのほとんどでナイキのスニーカーが盗まれた。被害総額は約200万ドルに達すると見られている。
**犯行手口**
窃盗団は東向きの貨物列車にこっそり乗り込み、人里離れたモハーヴェ砂漠や高原地帯でエアブレーキのホースを切断し、列車を緊急停止させる。その後、貨物コンテナを開けて高級スニーカーを奪い、事前に手配した車両で運び去る。
**具体的な事件**
1月13日にはアリゾナ州ペリンで、窃盗団が未発売のナイキ1,985足(約44万ドル相当)を盗んだ。中には3月14日発売予定の「ナイジェル・シルベスター × エアジョーダン4」も含まれていた。
**組織的な犯行**
窃盗団は、貨物倉庫やトラック会社の内部関係者からの情報提供を受けることもある。ターゲットとなる貨物は、セキュリティの厳重なコンテナを目視で確認した上で決定される。列車を追跡する「フォロービーク…
