I took this photo with my Minolta Dimage 5 just outside of Palm Springs, California.  This is the famous wind farm that provides power for so many people.  This farm has been seen in a lot of movies like E.T. and so many more.  

This is a photo of a real life oasis.  I took this photo with my Minolta Dimage 5 just outside of Twentynine Palms, California off of 29 Palms Highway.  The oasis is called Fortynine Palms Oasis.  I first seen this place back in 1998 when our Platoon went on a run from the highway to it.  When I first seen it it was amazing.  It had a lot of running water.  My family and I hiked over to it back in 2002 and it seemed like the water had diminished.  It didnt seem as beautiful as it did before.  I plan to go back again someday and take my son to see it. 

I know this photo might seem weird or photoshopped but trust me its not.  I took this photo with my Minolta Dimage 5 just outside of Yucca Valley, California along Old Woman road.  We had traveled down this road so many times and seen this mail box as well but we finally had the chance to take a photograph and share it with you all.  This mail box is probably standing about 15 feet high.  Pretty crazy.

This is a photo that I took with my Minolta Dimage 5.  I took this picture while my family and I were in Palm Springs one weekend.  We hiked up this trail on the north end of town and it was about a mile and a half up to this beautiful waterfall.  We still have to go back to ride on the tram that goes all the way to the top of the point.

This photo was taken with a Kodak Advantix.  I took this photo while I was in the Marines.  We were on an exercise in Kuwait and it was almost the end of the day and the sun was setting.  I was attached to 1st Tank Battalion - Charlie Company.  This photo was taken back in 1998.  Semper Fi!
