5/10/23.

A couple of weeks ago I posted about the new album from Permissive Rot - Brian Carver's (formerly of Christmas Island - San Diego, California) new band. I'm really, really enjoying the album - one of my favorite releases this year. I learned that Brian was also part of another San Diego based band Teenage Burritos.

Aside from Carver and Lucy Wehrly from Christmas Island, Kevin Gist (Plateaus) and Andreas Lagerström (Holograms) also lend a hand. Teenage Burritos is definitely a two-sided album. The first side is more insistent punk in the Kleenex/Liliput or Blondie vein. The 2nd side is more post-punk. Really, after the Black Flag cover, this gets more varied and nothing shows this better than "Kamikaze" (guest vocals from Pall Jenkins of The Black Heart Procession/Three Mile Pilot).

This was a joint release from Volar and Burger Records.

I Can't Believe...But I Do Now! (Grand Canyon National Park) by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: A view looking to the north while at the overlook at Mather Point in Grand Canyon National Park. I pulled in on the focal length and angled my Nikon SLR camera slightly downward in order to capture a more sweeping view across the eroded formations, temples, and buttes. One can then more easily see the deep canyons carved by the Colorado River and other tributaries flowing through the national park. The North Rim would also be easily seen looking in a straight-ahead direction.

Isaiah 41:18 (NLT) - I will open up rivers for them on the high plateaus.    I will give them fountains of water in the valleys. I will fill the desert with pools of water.    Rivers fed by springs will flow across the parched ground.

Photographer Braves Sub-Zero Temperatures to Capture the Winter in Ladakh, India

In northern India lies Ladakh, a territory full of high-altitude plateaus, lakes, and mountain ranges. Within the oft-contested Kashmir region, it is one of the few places in the country where a photographer might encounter frozen lakes and extreme winter weather. IT professional and landscape photographer Venkitesh Ramachandran has made it his goal to photograph India's hidden gems—among them Ladakh in winter. His incredible images of the region depict an unforgiving yet beautiful landscape that is simultaneously lonely and awe-inspiring.
