several sides of the same coin
Just after sundown, the lights of the geothermal plant glow. And somehow, the surface of the water also glows.
One star lights up the sky and is mirrored by a light on the distant shoreline.
And the dark-blue arc of the approaching night finds its balance with the darkening ground.

shadow/form
That sun in the desert can be brutal – even in mid-February, it was easy to tell that. But that sort of bright, unfiltered light makes very nice shadows and the unusual shapes of desert plants make the shadows even more interesting.

Steam Night
There are a lot of geothermal plants on the south end of the Salton Sea. The plumes of steam are a constant part of the view, day or night. And if you are the sort of person who likes industrial architecture – or more specifically the sort of person who likes industrial architecture at night – you might consider stopping by for a visit.

dune-edge
As the day’s light crept across the sand, the patterns grew deeper before fading in the full light of morning. The ruffled edge of the dune held for seconds then was gone, never to reappear in the same place or form again.
