The Empty Quarter,
p. 4
back
The
landscape was stark but strangely beautiful and liberating for myself
as well as my dog. I was struck by the silence, a sound so profoundly
empty that its depth provided a clarity to my thought and perceptions.
Except for a melody from “Dark Side of the Moon” playing in
my head, all was stillness. |

We drove
on farther north, to the Fly Geysers, a triple-cone of spewing water and
steam situated in the middle of a large wetland in the desert. The several
natural ponds and wading pools provide a range of temperatures, from tepid
to terminal. Pan left to see the large swimming pond. Pan right to see the hotter wading pools. |
