Description
English: @dailyshoot: 2010/02/12: Continuing the Friday fun theme, make a photo that goes with the title of a book you've read. #ds89

A rather extremely literal interpretation of one of the most important and favorite books I read after moving west.
The wind will not stop. Gusts of sand swirl around me, stinging my face. But there is still too much to see and marvel at, the world very much alive in the bright light and wind, exultant with the fever of spring, the delight of morning. Scrolling on, it seems to me that the strangeness and wonder of experience are emphasized here, in the desert, by the comparative sparsity of flora and fauna; life not crowded upon life as in other places but scattered abroad in spareness and simplicity, with a generous gift of space for each herb and bush and tree, each stem of grass, so that the living organism stands out bold and brave and vivid against the lifeless sand and barren rock. The extreme clarity of the desert light is equaled by the extreme individuation of desert life forms. Love flowers best in openness and freedom.

Edward Abbey, https://books.google.com/books?id=VQewd9LDbzgC&lpg=PP1&dq=Desert Solitaire&pg=PP1#v=onepage&q=&f=false
