#PhotoOfTheDay is Ubehebe Crater, Death Valley National Park. It’s half a mile deep and resulted when volcanic magma reached the groundwater, flashed it into steam, and BOOM!

There’s a maybe-didn’t-age-well song.

@[email protected] Looking at your pictures, and that of others on Mastodon, makes me realize something. I haven’t lived! 😄
@[email protected] Better get to that before it’s too late! :) Health issues and economics have reduced my getting-out-and-living considerably, so I’m glad I did some of it when it was easier.

it makes me feel better to hear that, being in a similar place. Last night I counted the years it has been since I’ve been on any sort of multi day trip for fun and I sobbed a little

@[email protected] I so want to go visit a good friend of mine in the English midlands. Take my radio stuff, a large format film camera… Do lots of radio and take lots of pictures. But I’m afraid I’ll never want to come back.

@[email protected] Good advice!
