Name: Desert: Walking I by Evan Caplinger
Duration: 5 min
Description: Imagine a sparse, austere desert filled with twisted, rusted, dilapidated buildings and unused machinery. The clouds are above you, and the sky is blue, and the scene before is you is by all accounts beautiful. The silence is deafening. You're alone in this empty landscape, left to appreciate the harsh glory of the endless desert.

The clouds are above you, and the sky is blue, and the scene before is you is by all accounts beautiful. The silence is deafening. You're alone in this empty landscape, left to appreciate the harsh glory of the endless desert.
