Oh hey, thanks for posting this! White Sands is truly a landscape different from any I had ever seen before.

I said it last night, I got sucked into looking at all the pictures everyone posted and it was such a treat. So many talented people on BJ.
Speaking of talented, I have once again posted a recipe from BJ-er, Kirk Spencer. As always his recipes are as much fun to read as they are to eat. Kirk’s California Trout

@Betsy:
White Sands is really cool. It’s like being on the moon.
Mark S.
Well, if the moon had an atmosphere and a bunch of dogs running around. Other than that, yeah, the moon.
Zach
@Mark S.: It’s the only moon we’ll have left at this rate so you’d better learn to appreciate it. Not that we didn’t spend a few years blowing up White Sands also.

The Biloxi – Ocean Springs Bridge is a recently completed structure that replaced the previous span that was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. For many here on the coast, it’s symbolic of the rebirth of the region.

@getsmartin:
Wow. Fantastic. I had traveled over the old bridge many many times while I lived in Biloxi during the 90’s. Worked at the old Broadwater. And even fished off the old really old bridge. This new one is gorgeous. I guess Point Cadet got wiped out too.

@General Winfield Stuck:
Here’s an aerial of the bridge post Katrina (click here)”.
The entire coastline was “whacked” by the storm. We’re well into the rebuild these days, though.
The Broadwater? I used to drink the daily doubles at the marina more often than I care to admit.

@getsmartin:
That’s some kind of destruction. The MGC is a beautiful place to live. I still miss it sometimes.

That White Sands picture is simply lovely; my several visits there came pretty close to a religious experience for me, and that shot captures some sense of the mind-stopping alienness of the landscape. I’ve very rarely been anywhere else where I felt like I was literally on another planet (some caverns have come close).
Winter Home is an absolutely gorgeous photograph – but it fills me with such a deep sense of longing that I have to look away.
More photo threads, plz! We’ve got some real talent lurking around these parts.
