Camping

Silence on the rocks.

Silence on the rocks.

Leaving las Vegas is not done with any sorrow. Im not a gambler and I am one of those, thinking that even if you have the money to gamble away you should still put them to better use. Why not gamble them in some enterprise that is trying to find a new energy resource or invest in some ones business idea that might benefit the masses. Better yet if you are in the need to give your money away, give it to some one that really need it. There are lot of children in this world that are starving and deserve a second chance in life.

Salvation mountain

Salvation mountain.

I am not a firm believer in god or any thing simmilar. I am probably a non beliver. Still you cant but wonder if there is some thing out there. I had been heading for Slab city, knowing that salvation mountain was there in the vicinity. The weather had changed from this morning when I left sunny Joshua Tree national park and was now cloudy and overcast. It had been a mellow ride and I had driven around to the near by towns trying to find some Internet connection. (little did I know then that the best one was in Niland it self) When I finally found the road to Slab city, which by the way is in the middle of Niland, i soon saw the the mountain in the distance. I was thinking of driving past it, find me a spot to stay and come back the morning after. But as so often when you get the feeling you should not, I decided to stop there and then. It was strange. As soon as I stoped. The curtains in the sky started sliding to the side and before I knew there was this beautiful blue sky in the bakckground. The sun coming from a low angel as it was in the afternoon, shun a nice light on the mountain. With out hesitation I grabbed my camera and started snapping away.
