Trip to Zzyzx

Its been a minute, but I am still here. I thought I would do a post on a sort-of adventure that I went on a little while back.

Right now I'm back in school, and back on the archit(orture)ecture grind. Our current project is based on a place we went to in the middle of the desert in Northern California on your was to Las Vegas. Its known as Zzyzx. Look up a definition of the middle of nowhere, and this is what you'll find. Nevertheless, there was a lot of beauty to be found there, if you are willing to look closely... Here, let me show you:


An Oasis in the desert

The horizon was framed with beautiful mountains.
Another angle of the pond. This is probably HDR on steroids. I was going a little crazy with the styling :)



You'd be amazed at the beauty you can find beneath your feet!

Seriously though...


We must learn...

to look down sometimes...





You may think most of the pictures are 'just dirt', and yes, it is - essentially - dirt. But when you look at things closely, you find all the beautiful intricacies that make up that dirt, and it becomes more than that. Its beauty. Its design. Its art.
