Parched Kids Hoodies

A vampire relaxing and having a cup of tea.

PARCHED is a one-off image to illustrate the power of a single photograph/image to SHOUT 1000 words. Photography is a powerful medium to challenge exiting ways of doing things and look to the future if no action is taken. The wardenship we have of our planet (we certainly do not OWN it") is in our hands for a short time and we can ruin it so quickly. The case of global-warning is a pressing issue but with depressingly little concerted GLOBAL action to reverse the effects that will fall heavily on our children and children's children

It doesn't take long for things to dry in the high deserts of Colorado.

As if by magic or through some sort of time portal, a mysterious figure appears on the horizon of a parched desert environment, in search of water...

Six little penguins converge on a small pristine patch of snow that they’ve reached by way of a brisk invigorating swim across a cool clear pond, having finally arrived at a little arctic oasis after a long and circuitous journey through the parched desert dunes. An enchanting exploration of color and form, from a lyrical abstract brush pen drawing and a scan of self-expanding honeycomb kraft packing paper.

Some of the many petroglyphs (carvings, engravings) of wild animals and abstract symbols from the Late Stone Age material culture dating between 6000 and 2000 years ago at Twyfelfontein ( meaning doubtful fountain or maybe water) Namibia, Africa.

These amazing engravings show imcredible aptitude for observational drawing, proportion and vitality of presentation.

The red iron in the dunes is emphasised at sunrise by the low angle of the rising sun. The dunes are either side of the dry Tsauchab River. An occasional tree dots the river flats. Stretching 1,600 kilometres (1,000 miles) in length, but averaging a width of only 110 kilometres (70 miles), the Namib Desert is home to the highest sand dunes in the world up to 340 metres high.

Lake Travis, Texas, USA. A drought in Texas has lowered the water level of this lake by 18 metres. This is an important water source for the town of Austin.

Isaiah 35:1 The desert and the parched land will be glad; the wilderness will rejoice and blossom. God brings about good things, even when or where it seems impossible. I pray that we trust Him when we feel like we are in a desert and we are in need of refreshing.

“The Organ Pipes” Canyon. Hexagonal joints in a post Karoo dolerite, which solidified into a group of homogeneously oriented columns with mostly hexagonal cross sections, form a small canyon in the Namib Desert, Sossusvlei, Namibia, Africa.

Namib desert dunes & the dry Tsauchab River Valley, Namibia, with a high dune glowing in the dawn sun. On the dune many tracks can be seen left by small animals which forage in the cool of the night. The red iron in the dunes is emphasised at sunrise by the low angle of the rising sun. The dunes are either side of the dry Tsauchab River. An occasional tree dots the river flats. Stretching 1,600 kilometres (1,000 miles) in length, but averaging a width of only 110 kilometres (70 miles), the Namib Desert is home to the highest sand dunes in the world up to 340 metres high.

We have just come through bad drought in Australia and other areas are now experiencing similar conditions which will only get worse with climate change. Just wanted to do another one that draws attention to drought. The background is a collaged texture work and the text has been digitally added.

Dune detail as the sun rises. The red iron in the dunes which is emphasised at sunrise by the low angle of the rising sun diminishes as the sun rises and the dunes take on a golden glow and then eventually fade to a typical sandy colour in the extreme heat of full sun . The dunes are either side of the dry Tsauchab River.
