March 30 - Emptiness



Two landscapes today - the Grand Canyon isn't empty, it's teeming with life when you get down there, but the sense of a huge empty space is almost overwhelming when you look over the edge.
In Iceland, the high tundra areas seem to stretch forever, but this landscape isn't empty either, we walked across this landscape to thermal pools and found hardy little flowers pushing their buds through the snow (That's a photo for another time)

  1. If you want vast empty spaces get to the Pilbara! Your two shots do show a great array of riches in colour which is what I like about the desolate outback!

  2. Yes, Australia's outback has vast open spaces that are truly spectacular - I have some photos from the air that I should have fished out of the files!

  11. These are both sort of dizzy making in their vastness. Very nice way to interpret the theme, we know there are whole worlds down there.
