Volcanic boulders and Sierra Mountains seen from Fossil Falls State Park near Coso, California. I wish I knew the origin of these boulders. Perhaps they are projectiles from the large cinder cone about half a mile from here.
This is a great park and I had the place nearly to myself. After visiting here, locals in Ridgecrest told me some of the best petroglyphs in the area are in this park, but I missed them.
Shot this with my Pixel 4 cell phone.

Red barn and clouds near Randle, Washington in Lewis County.
Randle sits in the center of a triangle of volcanic mountains - Mt Rainier, Mt St Helens and Mt Adams - all within 20 miles as the crow flies. I had never driven through here except in the middle of dry, clear summer, and on this trip the clouds and fog were spectacular. Definitely need to visit again in the Fall or Spring.

The landscape looks unpopulated, but 50 yards to the left is busy highway 26 and behind me is the very edge of growing Madras, Oregon. For now, one can still see the opportunities, open space and freedom this homestead had when it was first built.
Update: Someone on Facebook just told me that since I took this photo in June, the house has been demolished.
