it does look like a painting.

No, the above images are not surrealist paintings. They’re photographs of “dead valley,” where trees stand against a background of the highest sand dunes in the world. Once a thriving forest, the approaching desert has killed all life.

Finn McCool stuff! I'd love to go back. I'd also like to see Lake Baikal, with or without the turquoise ice, along with every other place on that site, especially those in the U.S.

It's amazing that I am/have been so near so many of these things and never seen them.

I'll have to rectify that........

Thanks for the reminder!
