We agree oceans of steep clean granite are "beautiful."
There are places in nature where the formulae for beauty are not met, yet i find myself breathless, and inspired..
show us beauty, where some might not have seen it...

Interesting that we can find beauty in such forbidding landscapes.
Humans are primed to be attracted to places we can make an easy living.
Fabulous pics btw.

When I think bleak I think Mongolia. I haven't been there but just about every pic or movie I have seen of the place speaks bleak. Somebody here probably has some good pictures.

bleakness composed of these elements could mean a played out hand. the face down view offers some variability and may be seen as less bleak

Winter summit plateaus in Iceland can be bleak and beautiful.
Bleak landscapes have always been my favorite - especially barren, snowy, rocky terrain above tree line. But I also love deserts.

The high temperature record for the earth, was set at 132.1 F a few miles away at the furnace creek weather station July 10, 1913. the El Aziz record was disallowed in 2012 as the earlier "record" reading was taken over pavement... also in 1913, Henry Ford started the previously unknown, moving assembly line.. we do not have a higher record, since Ford started mass producing cars.. another inconvenient fact.
Badwater has consistently higher temperatures than Furnace Creek, with a lower elevation and a more enclosed, less exposed to air circulation site. It would produce a false comparative to build a weather station there now, but if you look to "new" high temperature records on other continents, those weather stations were built in the last 30 years. oh except Antarctica, where the record was set in the 1960s, as the station was not built until about ten years before, but no higher temperature since.
On this day Furnace Creek recorded a temperature of 129 F it was 135 at Badwater when the photo was taken.
